The Martin Autopark Band
The incredible MARTIN AUTOPARK
BAND was comprised of employees of MARTIN AUTOPARK, the General Motors
dealership in Cleveland, Texas.
At the annual company Christmas Parties during the late 1900's, whenever the professional band took its
bathroom breaks, the
MARTIN
AUTOPARK
BAND
would
storm
the
stage, shamelessly borrow the
regular band's instruments, and cut loose with some "music", much to
the delight and consternation of the audience.
Some of their unforgiveable
performances were bootlegged by one of their fanatical fans.
In spite of the low-fidelity sound
quality of these historic recordings, we are proud to present them for
your listening pleasure.
