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.
