Chevaliers de la table ronde - la chanson

Old wood to burn, old books to read, old wine
to drink, old friends to trust.
The purpose of this page is collect materials and links
related to that wonderful French drinking song, Chevaliers
de la table ronde. As far as I know, I have never
seen a version sung in English but it could be possible.
Knock on wood! I just found out that
Raymond Crooke
has done one! hehe
I have even scored my own version for piano and voice because
there was very slim pickings on the web for this wonderful song.
I was not quite enthusiastic about the little I found on the web
so I took to the piano and scored my own version which fits the
bill nicely.
