[sclug] strip paths from file when tarring?

I'm trying to generate a tbz2 file from a couple of directories and a
log file..

tar cjf mytar.tbz2 foo/ bar/ long/path/to/logfile.log

however, I want logfile.log to appear in the root of the archive - can I
optionally strip "long/path/to/" from this one file while generating the
tarball?

Many thanks,
