Gratefully Dead With Pigpen
I started a mix of some of my favorite Pigpen Grateful Dead tunes in 2019 around the time of his birthday (09/08) with the plan of posting it at the anniversary of his death (03/08). A few months ago, I finished the mix I wanted to post, did some quick artwork if anyone wanted it. And then I forgot about it. And March 08 came and went and the post sat in my Drafts. So here it is.
These are some of my favorite Pigpen Grateful Dead. Tracks. What are some of your favorites?
