RIP to the "Father of South Shore Music" Jimmy McGettrick. You meant so much to so many, and brought so many people together over the years. Your legacy will live on at the Beachcomber and in our memories. Thank you, friend for making my 20's a decade I will always remember. "Weep not for the memories".
