Having had Further just blast through town got me thinking about O'l Ron "Pigpen" Mckernan. Pigpen was the first of The Dead's ivory bangers to initiate in the "Curse of the Grateful Dead Keyboardists." Followed soon by Keith Godchaux, Brent Mydland and Vince Welnick. For some odd reason untimely deaths soon followed after sitting with the band at the keys. The thing I like about Pigpen was that he was a biker as well...not your average San Fran hippie.
