Formerly "Dr. C and the Stratocats," I'm now on a solo career as "Dr. C," but I had to change my stage name here because someone else had already claimed it. My music strives for melody above all else; I strive to make my songs memorable, so you can whistle a tune immediately. I see melody as the element most lacking in contemporaryr music. I love Sinatra and the Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, anyone who can write a memorable "tune."
Begun in San Clemente in the 1980s, Dr. C and the Stratocats disbanded in the late 90s for various reasons, the main being that we needed better means to put food on the table.
Yes, on occasion, especially for benefits in Mendocino County, CA, though I'd be willling to play farther south.
An acoustic guitar; I also play electric, harmonica, sax, flute, piano, bass and the saw.
