It is a great sorrow to share the passing of Pearly Sowell, the Oma of Oma and the Oompahs and accordion player with the Seven Dutchmen Orchestra. It was also a great honor to have such a force of nature to nurture and carry on the traditions of German music in Central Texas. To the family of Oma, our prayers are with you in your time of grief, but now the heavenly host of angels can really polka with a new accordion accompanist.
