Thanks for the warm welcomes. I would have replied sooner but I was away last week.
Rob, thanks for looking up the Joni part in Frog Hospital. Bob, I'm not sure that you need to get the Paul Charles book The Hissing Of The Silent Lonely Room. The only Joni reference as far as I recall is in the title. It's from a series of detective stories which take place in the Camden/Primrose Hill area of London. An area for which I have a lot of affection, particularly Sunday dances at The Jazz Cafe. Jaco Pastorious' track Used To Be a Cha Cha was a big dancefloor favourite the last time I was there. Just thinking about Herbie Hancock's solo on that track gives me shivers. Jacky, How could I forget Nick Hornby. I got a signed copy of High Fidelity when I attended a talk he gave for the launch. Unfortunately he spoke almost exclusively about football that night. I haven't seen Joni live (yet !). Maybe someday. Tara
