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
Patched together from the chorus of another song I didn't like, which became the verse section here, to which I added another chorus. Yes, I'm in love!
Lyrics
Seeking Her I have been seeking a companion Truer than the truest friend. I would pursue her with abandon, On this you may depend. There is a loneliness you’re born with And then another kind you learn-- I know the woman that I’m sworn with Will shade me like a fern. I have besought the perfect partner, The one to save me from the pit. There is no limit to my ardor If all the screws will fit. Chorus: Where does she run to? Where does she hide? I’d take ten arrows to stand by her side. Is her hair silver? Is her hair gold? I would deliver my heart to her soul. I have been searching for a helpmate Just as Adam yearned for Eve Though my requirement for a soul mate I admit is quite naive. With all the women lost to pleasure And all the others lost to guilt, You’d think that one would come to treasure The pattern of my quilt. She doesn’t have to be a beauty Although I think she’ll likely be. I want her love and not her duty, No “Last Duchess” for me. Chorus Repeat first verse and out with chorus.
