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
My wife nicknamed me "the Camel" long ago for reasons I cannot entirely explain.
Lyrics
Camel Boy Chorus: You gotta walk the camel, gotta feed the camel, Gotta love the camel every day. I’m your camel camel boy, hey! I’m your camel camel boy. (X2) Plodding through the sand Underneath the sun Wilted to a crisp But now the heat is done. Lying by a pool, Munching on some figs, Now the air is cool Beside the architectural digs. Chorus You are all I want In this desert land. Just a passing smile Would put me in your hand. All my heart is yours And my wishes, too. You’re my hope and cure When the camel’s blue. Chorus If I were a king With my concubines I would only sleep Within your bed’s confines. All the stars above And all the sand below Can’t measure my love-- It’s greater than the whole Chorus
