Paul Pena, a San Francisco blues guitarist who wrote one of the biggest hits  for the Steve Miller Band, has died. He was 55. Pena is familiar to audiences for the 1999 Academy Award-nominated documentary "Genghis Blues," which tells the story of how he took up Tuvan throat singing. Pena died Saturday from complications of diabetes and pancreatitis. Pena, almost completely blind since birth and plagued by illnesses most of his life, was born in Hyannis, Mass. He proved to be a natural musician, singing and teaching himself several instruments.
