Klingon Blues?
(The original subject was KLBC, but this section didn't seem to be. My
apologies to Qov if I'm overstepping.)

I found it intriguing that your second option, corresponds exactly to
what I learned as the "blues" scale, with the addition of the A. Given
the Wagnerian nature of most Klingon music heard on Star Trek, the idea
of B.B. King picking on his leSpal and wailing something like the
following is... stimulating.

Jaes, with apologies to all blues-beings everywhere
