EP06 The Relevance of the Blues

 This episode is a love letter to the blues, with nods towards possible forebears, like the African trickster spirit, Elegba, who morphed into various protagonists of countless folktales of the African diaspora, using cunning to survive. It's easy to see how the blues, played to beat the blues, could be thought of as Elegba's greatest magic trick to evade the indigo-tinted dastardly elves known as the Blues! And maybe, blues musicians  are, in fact, the spirit of Elegba, in carnate! 

Despite what some have said, this music is far from dead.
