Ron " Pigpen " McKernan: A Barbecue Jam for Pigpen

Ron “Pigpen” McKernan: A Barbecue Jam for Pigpen

This is an actual copy of a letter that was burned in a fire that was never started
It is from Chief Crazy Captain Christo to R.P.M ( to be read only at a night time barbecue).
For those of you who don't know ,without Pigpen , there would be no Grateful Dead.
Or it would have been a ship without a Captain.
When Chief Crazy Captain Christo meets back up with Pigpen

Hey R.P.M.,

I never got to tell you how much I loved your band.
Well, Pigpen I am writing this with tears in my eyes.
I might need Linus' blanket to cover my red eyes so you can't see.
Oh what the Hell, I don't care let the whole world know that my Tears are for Pig's in a Blanket.
Tell Loose Lucy that Cosmic Charlie is heading for the end zone and Schroeder is now delivering Milk for a living.  Yep Milky Way as I like to tease him.

Seriously, Pig I have one request for the man upstairs cause I know You must be there. Tell him I know I have made my mistakes,
and my final request of a prayer would be this:
The only way I am going anywhere is to get this party started.

Meet me down in Omaha, Nebraska sometime in the future. You will recognize me by a strange and magnificent smoke. I will be surrounded by Twelve Webers, Eleven Chefs (Steven Raichlen, Gordon Ramsay etc… are you listening?)  and I will be organizing my own Band. You should be able to see my One Man band with me playing a DIME(Electric Razorback Explosion) store guitar rockin on a Half Pipe skateboard ramp jammin out songs from the past as well as new unrehearsed  tunes that have yet to be named.

Hope you can tell that I'm getting amped for the show down in O,NE. Respectfully in Truth, Chief Crazy Captain Christo P.S. When I do meet back up with you Pig, if you don't mind bringing three shots and shot glasses with you we'll recite the 23rd Psalm in the Valley of the Shadows. Then and only then can I say " Yup, Good Grief the Gangs All Here"

I don't know exactly when I will be there but tell ol FUMble Fingers that I could use a little of da Vine intermission. Thanks a lot. Oh and One last thing Pigpen before I go. What would you like for dessert? I'm working man on an animal cracker whipped cream ala mode with the name Pig's Delight. What do you think? Might as well cross that off my two DO lew list. Lightnin Smokestacks gonna be my name....2019, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13,...

This will be part of national debt training for 360,000 Women who pay $10,000.00 each.  Do you
think I am just doing this for myself and Pig?  Get a grip people +(~~+~~)+National Debt Training 2012 The Orange Race from Green Bay Wisconsin to Colorado Springs Colorado,
perhaps ending at the Broadmoor for some final barbecue tasting Hint Hint Steven Raichlen!

Respectfully in TRUTH,

Chief Crazy Captain Christo
