Acoustic rock and folk rock with country, blues, and American Songbook influences.
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."

Story behind the song
Being an idealistic doctor, I've had many an opportunity to observe the flaws in our profession. In writing my first reggae song, it seemed a worth subject.
Lyrics
Doctor's Reggae (Am) What has happened to the medical profession? It's a dying breed, it's a dying breed. What has happened to the medical profession? Ambition and greed, ambition and greed. Chorus: What has happened to the oaths they swore? What has happened to the open door? Will they ever try to help the poor? All they ever want is more and more and more and more and more What has happened to the medical profession? They are all in love with their bright machines What has happened to the medical profession? Play with techno-toys and forget your dreams. Chorus What has happened to the doctors my brothers? Have they lost the ability to heal? What has happened to the doctors my brothers? They would rather live for a business deal. Chorus What has happened to the medical profession Are they jaded to their inner core? What has happened to the medical profession? All the suffering people are such a bore. Chorus
