Tony Cartmill Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 From what I read, He's the one that Dad kicked out of the band for smoking pot, right at the height of their #1 hit "Hair" tour. He co-wrote many of their songs, though not their hits, played guitar and sang lead. Too young, but his body couldn't handle the effects of smoking, yet he continued to do so...I've known people like that. They all seem to die in their late 50's/early 60's...
