What an outstanding rendition of "Eleanor Rigby"! Omar sounds so much like James Booker on this recording with those fast chromatic runs. I've always wondered if the two knew each other or ever played together. Now that would truly be a piano summit of this highest calling!

Omar Shariff, one of the greatest blues pianists ever. He's been a tremendous influence over the years. Keep on Rockin' Omar! Thanks for the wonderful music!
