Ronald C. "Pigpen" McKernan (September 8, 1945 – March 8, 1973) was a founding member of the Grateful Dead. His contributions to the band included vocals, Hammond organ, harmonica, percussion, and occasionally guitar. In 1994, Pigpen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, along with the other members of the Grateful Dead. Today in 1972 was his last show with the band. On March 8, 1973, he was found dead of a gastrointestinal hemorrhage at his home in Corte Madera, CA. Just thought I would give a shout out to him and all he gave to the Grateful Dead. This is "Next Time I See You" a blues song recorded in 1956 by Junior Parker.
