#pigpen died 50 years ago today & the good ol’ #gratefuldead-cast begins our 7th season with a 2-part tribute built on a whole pile of never-seen writings & never-heard tapes, the deepest pig bio yet. in part 1, we zoom in on the palo alto #folk scene circa 1961-1964, including tales of teenage pig hanging with train-hopping hobos, a look into the pre-warlocks R&B bands he played in, & bits of a few uncirculated tapes, including one with #JerryGarcia. https://www.dead.net/deadcast/adventures-pigpen-part-1
@bourgwick thank you so much for this. it's a joy to hear the man speaking in the taped interviews. #Pigpen
