More on Donnie Dacus
Description from Wikipedia:
Donnie Dacus (pronounced DAY-cus, born October 12, 1951 in Galena Park, Texas) is an American guitarist and songwriter. He's noted for his work with Stephen Stills in the mid-late '70s, and a controversial stint with the jazz-rock group Chicago from 1978-1980. He also had a brief fling with acting, starring in Hair in 1979.
His career started in a teenage band called The Shux, so named because Jimi Hendrix often ended shows by saying, "Aw, shucks". Reports indicate that The Shux had Go-Go girls, and that Dacus often dressed up as Hendrix. In 1966, the band played at a Mardi Gras in Fort Worth, Texas. The Doors played at there as well. After graduating from Cleburne High, Dacus left to record with the Yellow Payges.
According to various sources, Dacus worked on Crosby, Stills, and Nash's CSN album, doing background vocals and playing rhythm guitar. A few years later, he teamed up with Stephen Stills for several projects. On Stills Dacus has two writing credits, and on Illegal Stills he is featured prominently.
Stills and Dacus had suffered a bitter falling out when Dacus accidentally landed a part in the movie version of Hair. He had accompanied a friend to auditions and got the part when Miloš Forman spotted him. His long blond locks and bland good looks made him a natural for the character of Woof.
What exactly happened between Dacus and Chicago may never be known. Collected hints over the years indicate that Dacus' ego got too big, and that his rolling and yelping stage style didn't fit in with the rest of the band. Dacus has remained publicly silent since the split and, in fact, it's difficult to find virtually any information about him from that time onward. Video of Dacus is available on the DVD included in the 2003 Chicago box set release.
