Wasn't he a former Mouseketeer? Dick Dodd I think.

That's correct, Rick.

If I remember correctly, another member was the brother of a Hollywood actor.

Yep, their keyboard player was Larry Tamblyn, brother of Russ Tamblyn of West Side Story, Tom Thumb, and a number of other titles.

Chevy Chase?

Ok nobody got the 3rd Orange Juice question it was Rip it up and start again .

What did Tony Valentino(of the standells) do in the 80s that wasn't musical, but was directly related to a scene of music? (I might be wrong on the last name, but he was definitely in the Standells.)
