I first heard the good doctor on AFN Stuttgart, mid '70s; I was about 12 at the time. Memorable songs of that time were "Meanwhile, Back in the Jungle" and "Shaving Cream".

Once dad retired and moved stateside, I was rarely able to find a station carrying him. Listened for a while to a station out of Salt Lake.

Shaving Cream was an old record he’d found; they tracked down the guy who sang it, Benny Bell, and they got him to record again, I think. Shaving Cream actually made it into the top 40!

Some “demented” blues songs: “Generic Blues”—Weird Al Yankovic; “Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?”—Bonzo Dog Band; “Alligator Eating Dog”—Clarence Gatemouth Brown; “Nobody Loves Me But My Mother (And She Could Be Jivin’ Too)”—BB King; “Empty Tidy Bag Blues”—Wombles; “Kick Ass USA”—Milo Tremley; “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens” or “Saturday Night Fish Fry”—Louis Jordan
