Memories of Warner Doc Schwebke

My Memory

Reggie Workman Jun 04, 2009

Whoa! I googled Doc's name hoping to check up on old friend but instead, I'm writing this. My name is Reggie and I go all the way back to L.A. in '70 -'71. We met through
the musician's contact service on Hollywood Blvd. and we practiced everyday for a few months with a songwriter /guitarist named Sammy Rubin at his house in Laurel Canyon.
He even stayed at my place quite often during those days. We had some good times.
Needless to say, our big break never came and his next project was Odyssey; I really thought they were going to make a go of it. I became pretty good friends with them too..
especially Bobby James with whom I did some playing around Berkekey and S.F.
I Iast saw Doc in Eugene around '76 during Schwebke Bros. days. I recall that he
felt on top of the world at the time. I'm sorry I didn't get to see him in later years.
Farewell old friend.
Reggie Workman (not the jazz bassist)

My Memory

Tracy Dec 10, 2008

My name is Tracy. I met Doc through Rick Berry. I knew him for about 20 years. Doc was a smart, sweet, lovely, and talented man. I enjoyed talking with Doc about a lot of different things. We did not always have the same views, but we always had great conversations. His music is wonderful and I am lucky enough to have a few of his CD's. I considered him a very dear friend. I am very glad that I got to know him and I will miss him. I offer my condolences to his family and other friends. I will never forget him.
