discography - cover versions

Not covers performed by me - though I have done one or two. These are covers of my songs. A lot of them are covers of Whole Wide World. Most of them are terrible but there are one or two that have made me quite proud - and the odd one that nearly made me extremely rich, but not quite. I made up a compilation of covers of Whole Wide World for a friend of mine who said it must be extremely flattering to hear so many people trying to be me. Which I suppose it is.
