Artist History After many malpractice claims and several unnaturally born children, Dr. Jerome Hapsburg decided to leave the world of "House Calls" and "Do-It-Yourself" general surgery techniques for recording his beloved bedtime lullabies. Hapsburg has been recording himself since he was in diapers. Now he records other people's music too, for almost free. Dr. Hapsburg is captured here in 13 rare and dignified tracks that will leave your sister, auntie or dog beggin for mo!

Press Reviews It seemed as if what I was trying to listen to was just beating me in the ear with icepicks. This Phosphene guy, whoever he is, surely is a lame duck when it comes to making you want to cry. I couldn't even muster a tear after listening to "Whiskey River". Sometimes emotion is just left to the dogs and that's where it should stay. Murphy's Posthumous Postulate had me coming and going down the "garbage disposal de amore", with it's irratic moods and unforgiving out-of-pitch timbre. Jesus made and moved mountains? What kind of person allows someone who is emotionally stable to listen to this obtuse excuse for tunes? I can only hope that Phosphene gets his fingers chopped off in a meat grinder and his vocal cords shredded by his own Phono-sickle knife before he records any more inhumane railroad ballads.
