Sweet Sir Galahad though was Joan's first song (circa 1969), and that isn't at all bad either. Indeed I think it is a wonderful song. However, I accept Bob probably also heard draft songs that never made it to the stage!

Joan is a very good songwriter. She has claimed that she finds songwriting a struggle, and has more or less stopped since around 1990, relying on interpreting other people for recent albums. But the lovely song Speaking of Dreams (on the album of the same name) from around 1989 shows just what she is still capable of if she pushes herself. Love Song to a Stranger or Love Song to a Stranger Part 2 are very good songs. Honest Lullaby is a brilliant song!
