Welcome back Justin!

It just doesn't seem right in the "space/time continuum" that the actual composer of a song is doing a "cover" of his own song. Sure, some other artist could record & release the song before the composer releases his own recording of the song, but it defies logic that a composer can be said to have "covered" his own work.

In that case, the Tusk album version of "Sisters Of The Moon" is a cover since Walter Egan actually recorded the song before Fleetwood Mac...????...nope, doesn't make sense.
