Ollie Shepard (blues pianist)  Ollie Shepard "(né" Oliver Shepard; born July 1909, Oberlin, Louisiana, United States – date of death unknown) was an American blues pianist, vocalist, and songwriter. He was last known to be playing in a lounge in 1966 around Albany, New York. From about 1954 to about 1963, Shepard performed at Jerry's Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge in Oneonta, New York, at 15 Dietz Street, in the Walnut Street Historic District. The restaurant was owned by Joseph G. ("Jerry") Monser (1926–1975), who opened it on August 5, 1954. The building was demolished in July 1970 to make way for a parking lot. Mark Bresee, "et. al," purchased the property from Robert W. Melmer, his father, John J. Melmer, and his brother, John E. Melmer.
