James Wayne Stafford will celebrate his 76 birthday this coming January 16th, 2020...

I saw Jim open for The Smothers Brothers and Joan Rivers in San Francisco circa 1980. Great performance!

Shel Silverstein wrote most of the hits Dr.Hook had.Some very funny songs.He also wrote most of the songs for Old Dogs CD - Waylon Jennings,Bobby Bare,Jerry Reed & Mel Tillis' group.The man was insanely talented and diverse,from being a multi instrument musicain,author,cartoonist to theatre.

Lol, I missed the entire 70's & 80's & most of the 90's-oh, that wonderful leafy green stuff!

I’ve only ever heard Dr. Hook’s version of this. I like this one too.

JIm hit #37 in Billboard, 9-27-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Shel Silverstein (writer of it). Shalom, Shel.

i loved this version but i love Jim Stafford too.

Ahh, I remember getting stoned and just watching the record play on the turntable =@

@JeffN727 This song isn't about drinking, it's about gettin' STONED!

Thank you very much!!! Don't have that one but I'll put it on my 'Look For' list!

You should post the B side "I ain't workin'" That's a terrific song that i'd like to hear again!

Ironically, I do remember this song. I just didn't remember who sang it!

I understand. This song was a top 40 song in 1875 hitting number 24 according to the Billboard Charts.

Woot!!!! This is the Classic!! ;0)

Could you upload the song by Jim Staffoed entitled "Your Bulldog drinks Champagne"? Thanks..

i got stoned an i missed it haha

Dr Hook did a cover of this.

Lyrics are altered quite a bit from Dr.Hook's hippie version.

Check out the 1972 original version written and performed by Shel Silverstein, lyrics much more "robust". Dr. Hook then covered the tune with pretty much Silverstein's lyrics. Stafford's version is tamed.

I got stoned and I missed it

I think Dr. Hook did a rendition of this song

thay did

21 seconds of dead air before it comes in

I always post the B Sides - here's the link - thanks!!! /watch?v=DEWZKGhmMw4

I'm about half stoned as it is. I just wonder how sober my fiance thinks that I will be when I go to see her and meet her coworkers. This should be very interesting...

No problem!!! I don't have that one, I'll keep a look out for it though. In the meantime, TracyLee103 has a video of him performing it live on TNN youtube(dot)com/watch?v=QyYKnhtoij0

I personally prefer the version Shel sang himself. A LOT less subtle

He changed the lyrics.

When people ask me how prom was

is he still alive??

I found a studio recording from Achoou youtube(dot)com/watch?v=5TQ3pC9W1o4&NR=1

XD

not just a good singer he can play malaguena better than rot claek so him in branson

Doctor Hook's is much better

THAT SUCKS

Hit #37 in Billboard. God bless!
