TMZ reports the estate of Merle Saunders, the former keyboardist for the Grateful Dead, has filed a lawsuit against the estate of Jerry Garcia, disputing royalties for a 2004 live album. Saunders’ estate claims they were not aware of the album’s release, though they have equal rights to the music, and they want to be compensated over $100,000.
I suppose even the passing of rock legends doesn’t stop the lawyers to just keep on truckin’.
