Happy Birthday, Pigpen! Wherever you are jamming now, we bet the angels have traded their harps for harmonicas and tambourines. Your gritty vocals and soulful blues brought life to every stage—no one could belt out "Turn On Your Love Light" quite like you did.Though your time was short, your legacy is timeless. From Woodstock's muddy fields to Fillmore West’s electric nights, you've left behind a groove that still echoes through generations of Deadheads today. So here's raising an imaginary glass (just water this time!) in honor of the man who taught us all how to boogie with heart and soul.
