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
I was in therapy with this Freudian who just wound me up in circles and made me worse, so I fired his ass!
Lyrics
I Fired My Psychiatrist I fired my psychiatrist because he did profess To cure my mental illness just by dwelling on the mess I paid him lots of money but I always left in tears I ask him what my chances were, he said it would take years Chorus: But I can do much better by myself I can do much better by myself I can do much better Through the dark and the stormy weather When the rain falls in sheets I can stand on my feets alone. I fired my psychiatrist because he wore brown shoes He had a sense of style, but a style I couldn't use He told me I'm a martyr, that my family picks on me He drew me up a charter for continual misery Chorus I fired my psychiatrist because he made me feel The onion of my soul was just some vegetable to peel He pumped me up with hope and then he tied me up in knots I lost my sense of scope 'til I forgot what I forgot Chorus
