After earning a veterinary medicine degree at Auburn University, Dr. Elmo was a veterinarian at Aqueduct, Belmont Park and Saratoga racetracks in New York. He later moved to San Francisco's Bay Area to open his own animal hospital and while moonlighting playing festivals and clubs in a bluegrass band.
In 1979, he introduced 'Grandma' on a San Francisco radio station. It quickly became a regional hit. Dr. Elmo began playing more holiday gigs around town to support the single. When an activist group, The Gray Panthers, accused him of playing 'ageist music' and showed up to picket one of his shows, the media came out in force, drawing the attention of major labels.
In 1983, MTV began airing the self financed video. A year later Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer album appeared on Epic and a new 'Grandma' single was released, this time with 'Percy, the Puny Poinsettia' as the B-side.
Dr. Elmo released Twisted Tunes in 1991. Numerous holiday albums would follow, with Dr. Elmo releasing his own Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer album in 2002 on SonyBMG. Dr. Elmo added a Halloween hit to his repertoire in 2006 with the title track to his Redneck Dracula album. In 2007 he released Redneck Santa, in 2009 he released Wild Bluegrass with his band Dr. Elmo & Wild Blue. In 2010 Time Life releases Dr. Elmo's Bluegrass Christmas . Most of Dr. Elmo's songs are co-written by Rita Abrams. Pop historians might remember Rita as the Miss Abrams in Miss Abrams and the Strawberry Point 4th Grade Class, the act behind the 1972 hit 'Mill Valley.'
Dr. Elmo currently tours with his bluegrass band, Wild Blue and each holiday season he conducts a media and concert tour in conjunction with the "Grandma" song.

Feel's Like Christmas
Dr. Elmo Lyrics
You know what dis feel like?
This feel like what happen when you approach God
knowing that he is God and
that he's a rewarder of those that diligently seek him
This feel like
This feel like something I would write for the mother of my children
This feel like something I would write for a proverbs 31 woman if I ever came across one
Last but not least this feels like love
Baby this feels like exceedingly abundantly beyond what I can ask or imagine
I can hardly handle all this black girl magic
Baby I swear I'm just going with everything God has been showing us
If this ain't it, I don't what is
If you ain't the one, I guess no one is
All of this love girl, you can get it
I was good on my own, don't forget it
But you came along to make me better
And baby I'm better already
Yah
Girl I've been waiting for you
Just waiting for you
All my, all my life
All my, all my
Girl I've been waiting for you
Just waiting for you
All my, all my life
All my, all my life

Everything God has been showing us (Love)
If this ain't it I don't what is (Love)
If you ain't the one, I guess no one is
If you ain't the one, I guess no one is
If you ain't the one, I guess no one is
Baby this feels like what happens when you wait on God
I promise I been waiting on ya for a long time
On God
I hope he bless me with long life so I can give you my love for a long time
Swear I been giving my love to the wrong type
All of this love
All of it's yours
All of this love girl, you can get it
I was good on my own, don't forget it
But you came along to make me better
And baby I'm better already
Yea yea
