While reading a 2nd rate Arthurian novel and listening to NPR it struck me what a great source for Blues music are the various stories of King Arthur and the nights of the round table.

My challenge to you--write down the name of a character, a blues song title, and perhaps a line or two of the song, that would be appropriate.

And you have to imagine them sung by any classic blue's singer you wish.

Examples:

Arthur, "I didn't know...she was my sister."

Igraine (Arthur's mother) "I thought he was my man, but he's better."

Lyrics--"What's a girl to do,
what's a girl to do,
what's a girl to dooooo.
When he came to me,
in the night,
I thought he was my man
was my man?
was my man.
But he's better."

Elaine (Galahad's mother, Lancelot's wife) "My daddy done treed me a man, and I lost him."
Lyrics: "He hasn't loved me
Since he came out of that tree
I gave him a son
but now I am done
I lost him."
