Do you know the answer to this blues quiz question?

Back in 2015, The Florida Times-Union newspaper printed a blues quiz. There were twenty rather thought-provoking questions about blues artists, blues lyrics, and basic blues trivia.

I found the quiz almost by accident in a Google search for information about Willie "Pinetop" Perkins. The man was a true legend among blues artists, outliving most of the original Delta blues artists of the 20th century by decades. He also has a direct link to the birth of rock and roll! He played or recorded with every contemporary of blues you can think of.

Here's the quiz question about Pinetop Perkins that was included in the newspaper article:

Which did not happen to Pinetop Perkins?

A. He was driving a car that was hit by a train.

B. Died when a jealous woman poisoned his whiskey with lye.

C. He switched to piano after he was stabbed in the arm by a chorus girl and was unable to play the guitar afterward.

D. He won a Grammy at the age of 97.

Only one of the answers in the quiz above is not true. But I guarantee- you'll know the answer on Thursday-- and a lot more fun facts about the blues.
