IIRC, The Allman Bros. kicked Dickey out. Something about his drinking habit...;^)

The other guys kicked Dicky Betts out because he was way out of control with D/A. I am friends and former tenant of a guy who grew up with the brothers and Butch Trucks...they were in numerous bands together in HS and still are in touch.No BS- My friend was sharing a house with Duane when he died in that terrible motorcycle accident. Every time the ABB comes out I can get backstage passes if I go with my friend...I've met the band and Dickey a couple of times....Last time I saw Butch Trucks was at my former house..hanging out swimming.
: )I hope Dickey has cleaned up his act, he is very talented and I enjoy his music.The other guys kicked him out because he wouldn't show up, and when he did he was in no condition to play. This is good news!
