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.

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

  • Hope he'll have a good time in heaven. tnx for your music.

  • RIP Omar

  • 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.

  • absolutely beautiful! So sorry to hear of his passing , I wish him peace

  • RIP Omar

  • Omar is one talented man! He sings the blues too!? I feel grateful to have seen him perform three times in the past year, I'm a fan!
