The above link contains the info you requested. Specifically, the info below:

Before becoming a stand-up comedian, [Jonathan] Katz was in a band called Katz and Jammers. "Um, I was Katz," he mused. He is currently working on a CD compilation of the songs he has written over the past 30 years with the working title Easy Listening, But Not That Easy. "Music is, to a certain degree, my first love," he said, and I noticed a guitar resting on the side of the couch.

Katz worked music into the interview by using our meeting as a dress rehearsal for a talk he was giving the following day at the Jewish Museum in New York City. He asked me to pick a number between 1 and 24. I chose 11. He then played the eleventh track off his new CD, a song he co-wrote years ago with David Mamet called "This Heart is Closed for Alterations." The song was a country ballad, and the crisp voice of singer Bobby Bare was sad and steady. "We tried to write a parody of a country song," Katz commented, "but we did it too well." The next song Katz played for me was number four from his CD and one he had sung himself--"Louise and Mary." Katz's singing voice is low and melodic. It reminded me that there is much more to him than being a first-rate comedian.

I've been trying to get the lyrics to this song, and DetectiveGriffin did a good job of doing that in a post similar to this one. But he admitted the last stanza he wasn't sure of completely, because he said he was kinda hard of hearing. Well, I am completely deaf, so if you could post the lyrics, that would be neat.
