I keep hearing 'Woodstock' 

 - last night, on BBC London Live, the host
(I don't know her name) played it, said 
"Good on you, Joni" and proceeded to 
sing some lines from the song (mimicing
the original version surprisingly well) and
asking her studio guest what she thought
of it  - lots of "lovelies"  "hmmms" "aaarhs"

In my little fantasy world, there is still one piece
in the Travelogue jigsaw before she leaves
this stage of her artistic career.  I was born
in a small Oxfordshire village called Yarnton,
not 4 miles from Woodstock  - as a child at
this time of the year I often went skating or
toboganning on Blenheim Palace Lake
(got a bit too creaky for me sometimes, though -
give me a good old Canadian river that'll hold
a big truck, any day!). If Joni really is going to
round things off (for a while, please), I'm thinking
of asking the 11th Duke (never met him) if he'll ask 
her and the London Symphony Orchestra over
for tea.  You lot'd come, right?
