Harmonica honcho Lee Oskar, 71, still rocks 'Low Rider'
The Danish music legend from the hit band War lives in Everett and sells his harps worldwide.
EVERETT Suddenly, its 1975 again.
Low Rider erupts from the harmonica of a hipster with thick curly brown hair and blue tinted specs.
It sounds just like the way Lee Oskar played it.
Whats up with that?
It is Oskar, the harmonica honcho from the funk-rock-jazz band War.
Usually he has a stage to put on a show, but he doesnt need one.
On this day, Oskar, 71, plays at a work table in the basement headquarters of a nondescript house in the Glenhaven area that serves as the office of his international harmonica company. Its a short commute from his home, which is next door.
Oskar lives in Everett? Who knew?
He and his wife, Sri, moved here six years ago from Redmond, attracted by what the area offered in affordability and access. They bought two neighboring houses for home and business.
