This is a little odd treat from my dad. It's a comedy record recorded by an actual medical doctor in the 50s and put out by Colonial Records, which had a lot of success with comedy records from that time (the most notable to me being from Andy Griffith). This one is pretty obscure but I remember my dad playing it to me when I was a kid. I think the singer Doug Harrell was an actual doctor and probably did this side project and then never recorded anything else.
My dad asked me to record it to mp3 for him when I was in California over Christmas. The music has kind of a southern folky flavor to it, and it's kind of entertaining, but mostly it's about the story and the humor - the kind your dad would probably like. Enjoy.

THANK YOU soooooo much for reposting! My dad went to medical school in the 50's and remembered these songs and is so glad to hear them again. THANKS AGAIN!!!
Good gosh, I had this record back in the 70s (right down to the sleeve - only that was a blue paper one, not the red cardboard you pictured. Oh well...)! Between this and the NME Ace Case, you made my morning! Thanks!!
BLESS YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I HAVE THE OLD 45 WITH IT ON IT, BUT MY PLAYER IS IN STORAGE. MY DAUGHTER JUST SUFFERED A BOUT WITH PNEUMONIA & SPENT 5 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, SO I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO PLAY IT FOR HER! :)
