Interlocking octaves. In my humble opinion, one of the most haunting and beautiful Blues compositions ever. Omar grew up in Marshall, Texas as Dave Alexander Elam. He left in the 50's. In 2011, he returned as our Artist in Residence.
So very sorry for his passing as it is a sad ending to his inspiring journey. An amazing honest talent! Thank you for sharing this, Nancy! Rest In Peace!!!
I used to see him live in Fresno in the 70s and NICKS Bar when he was known as DAVE ALEXANDER. I loved to watch his fingers fly as he gave us his mellow vocal stylings...He was such a nice guy, to me when I approached and chatted with him.
Perfect composition!

It is a pity that he was relative unknown and the circumstances of his death are even sadder. He was a quality performer and not that old.
