Inscription. Mabry "Doc" Savage grew up in the Tiger Bend area near Marion, LA. As a contractor, musician, luthier, rare instrument collector, teacher & mentor, Doc's legacy will live on. Performances with the Twin City Jamboree Band, his siblings & the Savage home jam sessions are forever embedded in our area's rich musical history. Doc's wife, Stance, was his partner in all endeavors. Because of her dedication & the love of his children, family & friends, "life's challenges never slowed him down."
