Artist picture
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
A paean to the coast I love.
Lyrics
Mendocino Coast A major Seagulls and ravens and surf on the rocks Mendocino coast Gray ponytails and old pick-up trucks Place that I love most Blackberries, blue blossoms mushrooms and bears Salmon and steelhead and little town fairs where the people all dress for the weather and rarely complain of the rain when it falls Pot smell and skunk smell and scent of the sea Mendocino coast Crabbing and diving for abalone Place that I love most Wild rhododendron and bush monkey flower rogue waves and storms that impress with their power but fail to scare us we know that they’ll spare us if we have respect for the land. Feel free to visit us but please don’t stay keep our county wild We don’t want condos or four lane highways don’t destroy the child. You can make campfires on Big River Beach Look for the swallows they’re just out of reach on the overpass over the Ten Mile River where pelicans flock on the beach
