Feb. 5 memorial in Bear Point honors musician JJ Mack’s life

A celebration of life for Alabama Gulf Coast musician JJ Mack will be held on Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. at the Bear Point Civic Association Building. The day will include music led by Al & Cathy, hors de oeuvres and other light refreshments. Mack passed away on Dec. 21. Musicians are welcome to come play, sing and/or tell stories about JJ, who lived in Orange Beach since 2000 with his wife Jerilyn and daughter Amy.

Playing a Chuck Berry style, JJ never let anyone forget that “every night is Saturday night.”
