This is very sad. I've seen "Omar" play many times and he was amazing. Around here a lot of folks flocked to old clubs when we would hear he was playing, even when he was on his last legs. He was on the piano through is last pains.
It is sad to know he probably took his own life.

I loved him in Dr. Zhivago........oh wait wrong Omar.
I just him up on You Tube. He seemed very talented indeed. May he have God’s mercy and rest in peace.

Sad to see him go. Hopefully, a new generation of blues musicians will take up the baton.
