Fabulist!

While trying to figure out the origins of the song Lilac Wine, I stumbled across Secondhand Songs, a site that is solely dedicated to keeping track of covers. Who started a particular avalanche of songs, and who has followed their footsteps.

I think it's a great idea, but they need more editors. (Which I think amounts to, a user who occasionally updates their wiki with the stuff in their brain.) If you are cover-inclined, you should volunteer!

(FYI, Lilac Wine was originally recorded by Nina Simone in 1966, then covered by Jeff Buckley (*love*) in 1994, and then by Katie Melua in '03.)
