dr harris lee aka DR LOVE

back in 1977 at The Boatslip in Provincetown this song was a summer hit. dr lee was a practicing physician who had a dramatic house down in the westend near the old helena rubinstein house and across from stanley kunitz and alisa asher's garden just west of point street. dr lee was gay and always had the company of the blueboy magazine types around. dr lee was also generous with prescriptions and i was a patient. LOL. so, when the dance floor was full and this song came on ...all us locals would be shouting DR LEE instead of DR LOVE. what i also remember was how these guys on the dance floor would put soaked rags in their mouths. i never got to do that because it didnt look like fun. and to this day i dont know what that was. it was a really wild time.
