Janis and Pigpen were "an item" at the time (probably '71 or '72), and she showed up unannounced, with no advance publicity, to sing a few duets. Pepperland was a small venue on Rt 101 in Marin County, very convenient to the band members' homes, where they usually drew a small crowd of close friends and devoted long-time fans.

I was (and still am) very glad to have been there.
