Band Name Origins:

Back in 1969 when they were just a bar band, the guys (Ray, Bill, Jay, George, and Dennis) they were doing gigs without a name. Just doing what they had to do. One night the bar owner told them they couldn't go on and he couldn't book them without a name. SO, on the spot, George (co-founder of the band) came up with the name Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show because of Ray's likeness to Captain Hook (as he'd just watched Peter Pan a few nights earlier) and added The Medicine Show because of the obvious drug reference.
