Omega Music was founded in 1983 by our dad Gary Staiger. After giving up a promising career in chemistry after winning the Nobel Prize, Gary went on to become a world-class marathoner, chess grandmaster, and just an all-around good guy. Finding himself bored with the mundane challenges those pursuits offered him, he decided to follow his true passion and opened his music store on North Main in the old Santa Clara Arts District. After a few moves, in 2011, Gary moved his business down to the Oregon District in the old Gem City Records location. Tragically, he passed away soon after moving his store. Today, we – his kids – Katy, Alex, and Greg, run the store. Stop on by – we’d love to see you!

Your Dad
Hi,
Your Dad and I grew up together in Turners. I could see his house from mine at Hillcrest Homes. Last time I saw your dad was when he and I were in the service and I gave him a ride back to Wright Patt from Turners where we both were on leave. On the way back one of us set my back seat on fire from a cigarette.
Well we never did have any contact after that. I was shipped all over the world and I thought Gary was too. I was on FB with some old classmates and learned of your Dad’s passing.
What a great guy and friend he was when we were growing up. We got into trouble together. His mom would tell him to “stay away from that Regan kid, he’s trouble”. My Mom and Dad would tell me the same about Gary. But we still hung out and still got in trouble.
God Bless your Dad and you kids, you come from good stock, from a man that will not be forgotten. If I get to Dayton, I will stop in.
BTW after getting into all the trouble we did, My career brought me to 25 years of Law Enforcement in Lancaster, Ohio. Where I retired as a Lieutenant. Go figure.
Take care of each other.

Don,
Thank you so much for writing and your kind words, it’s hard to believe that in a week he will have been gone a year. Alex and Greg will be heading to Turner’s soon to visit Grandma and Uncle Terry; Grandma only recently moved from that house on Dell, Terry still lives there. The next time your in Dayton please stop by the store we would love to meet you, hear more stories and share some of our own
All the best,
Katy
Sorry for your loss. i remember the first time i ever went to a record store. I went to omega on record store day in the summer. I asked Gary if they had any Robert Johnson on vinyl. they didn’t.hard to believe he died shortly after that. i went to omega this Tuesday and was looking in the blues section and i saw Robert Johnson on vinyl. it made me think of Gary and how nice he was. The people that run it now are very nice and always help me if im looking for something. i still go to omega a lot mostly on Tuesdays and i always find something i want to buy.
Thank you,
Ben Salyer
