Alec and Mary Lou Newnam, Ocean City NJ | Sept 2020 | Mary Lou, who also happens to be Alec’s mother, is a professional multi-instrumentalist, with her main instrument being saxophone (though pictured here with her clarinet), and her primary genre of work being the jazz scenes of Philly, Jersey, and New York.

Bill was also a professional musician, with equally as remarkable of stories and musicianship.
