 Now I've seen everything......

Since they're in Seattle, maybe they would play at SUNI!

Unfortunately, the band (Rootes Group Service) has probably broken up by now.
The lead singer/guitarist decided to go back to Canada. Won't see them at
SUNI, but they did play a 'gig' at a huge (1,000+ cars) Ford owners meet in
Seattle last year.

The band got its name from a sign hanging in the garage where they practised.
Bill Sandell (on bass?) shares space there with several other car nuts while
working on his own Rootesmobiles, a late Series V Alpine and a '62(?) Humber
Super Snipe Estate Wagon.
