I recall at least two episodes where a guy was playing a guitar and singing some hippy sounding music. He wasn't in the episode otherwise. What were the producers trying to do here? One of his songs was about going to Tokyo.

I remember reading that he wrote that "Oh, Tokyo" song and sent it in to the producers, who then invited him to be on the show.

I don'now about that, but the guy's name was Loudon Wainright, and his characters name was Capt. Spaulding. The episodes he did were RAINBOW BRIDGE & THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A NURSE.

He was also in the episode "Big Mac".

Thanks for the information. He just seemed out of place to me.

Yeah...I guess it was just yet another example of one too many doctors....had to cut Duke and Spearchucker, too. I liked his songs, though!

he had a hit song in 1974 with dead skunk in the middle of the road .and was a musical guest on saturday night live in 1975
