Keyboardist Merl Saunders who played the keys for the Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia band has died on Oct. 24th due to a stroke, he was 74. Saunders suffered a stroke six years ago which lost the use of one of his hands and even lost his speaking voice. Even for his bad health, he never stopped doing what he loved, playing the keyboards for rock n’ roll bands. Rest in peace Merl, as I can see him and Jerry Garcia jamming away in heaven.
