I'm pretty sure. At that period, Peanuts was ubiquitous.

When she was first in college, my sister went out with a guy who'd taken piano from Pigpen!

though when I was interviewing him about something else David Nelson had a great story about the origin of Pigpen's name--basically, one of the girls in their crowd in Palo Alto just called him that one night and he got this horrible look on his face because he knew he'd be stuck with it forever. I'll see if I can dig it out and transcribe it.

McKernan's nickname Pig Pen goes back (at least) to the days of the jug band with Garcia and Weir in 1964? 65?

did Snoopy's Charles Schultz rip it off from McKernan?

or did McKernan pay an homage to Snoopy??

or, does it have to do with the FreeMason's cipher???

Pigpen made his debut in the Peanuts comic strip on July 13, 1954 by the by....

the irony is that Ricky Scaggs was born on July 18, 1954....

Pig In A Pen. Composed by Grand Old Opry fiddler Arthur Smith, who recorded it with the Delmore Brothers in 1937....

anyways, does anybody know the origin of Mckernan's Pig Pen nick name??
