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.
