Call me old-fashioned, but I'm waiting to hear Travelogue until I buy the CD. It will be a holy day. I will come home, turn the phone off, turn off all the lights, light a candle, and sit and listen in the dark.
Maybe I won't like it. Maybe it will be heaven. Either way I know that eventually, with a little luck and time, I'll catch up with Joni. I remember the first time I heard For the Roses. I didn't like it. It was a friend's copy and I didn't even buy my own copy until many years later. Now it's my second favorite CD by Joni. (Hejira being first.) I owned Paprika Plains for years and never listened to it. Now it's one of my favorites. I hope I will immediately love Travelogue. But if I don't, that's okay. I'll just think of it as long, slow foreplay. Frank
