Some of you are hip to Leonid & Friends already, but after listening for a few weeks now, I can honestly say - I like EVERY one of their covers better than the originals they copied. This gives me hope, because I too, am a cover artist. It's unlikely that I'll ever write a great American standard, or coin a phrase that everyone adopts, but a friend recently called me a "re-imaginer " of songs, and I take it as a compliment. He said I put my own twist on the songs I sing, and that makes them more than simply a recreation. I'll take it. Here's one of my favorites by L&F (It was a tough call to pick between Happy Man, and Call On Me)
