30 YEARS AGO in a small casino in northern Nevada my wife and I took my In-law's who were era hippies to see Dr. Hook. After the show my Father-in-law took his original album for them to sign, crawled under the curtian and shouted "WHAT A SHOW, WHAt A SHOW. We waited for about 45 min. and then went to the casino to play. Quite a few hours later we found him and he had been out back with the band getting stoned.

I would entertain by reciting "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbade Out" and "The Man Who Got No Sign". I can still recite them to this day!

My fave song (to this day in my top 10 and I've left instructions for this song to be played at mywake since' I've always said it's my theme song) is queen of the silver dollar. Halloween when I was 4 I my costume was the queen the lyrics speak about. Most people thought I was a beauty queen of some kind but nope, not this flower child!!

It was fun to watch the band get all those older folks stand up and shout "I got stoned and I missed it". But you really need to hear "Sylvia's Mother" It was their big hit and a great somg.

Shel Silverstein writes goofy songs like this and turns around and writes classic children poems (I can't get Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout out of my head now) and then writes The Devil and Billy Markham for Playboy. Carry Me Carrie was always my fav Shel/Doc Hook song. There's a great video of them on Shel's houseboat singing the song. They are all wasted but still give a great performance.

Saw them live at The Regent Theatre, Sydney, in 1981. Not just great musicians but fantastic entertainers. After the intermission, Dennis Locorriere came back on stage and said the other guys must be a bit short of money, because they were out the back sharing a cigarette, to which the crowd erupted with laughter. Then he picked up a guitar and started playing "Sylvia's Mother." While he did so, the others came out one by on and joined in. The last member walked up behind Dennis, put his arms around him, and took the guitar, without missing a note. The whole night was filled with little moments like these and nobody left disappointed.

Whoo-hoo, fun stuff, I saw Dr Hook open for the Guess Who in 1971 in the first real concert I saw at 16. I got stoned and did Not miss it, for sure! Great show with local legend, the band Fat, opened, they played a spirited set before Dr Hook came con. They were fun and everyone had a smile at the end of their set. The Guess Who was mind blowing, doing a set very similar to what you can hear on their classic double album, Live at the Pararmount. They played their big hits then did a 20+ minute jam of American Woman into Trucking Off Into the Sky. You can hear a very similar one on that live album, I can't urge you too much to react to it sometime, your listeners would love it. The jam is sublime and the vocals are insane! Great bands and times, that concert cost me $5.00. Rock On! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥

Dr Hook is IMHO the most unique band ever. So out of left field, I can't even begin to describe the shock of hearing this one played on the radio for the first time.
