In Memory of

Bob Hall

THE ASCOTS original lineup was comprised of all Tumwater High School students. The band was originally from Tumwater, Wa. They did record some songs with Ray Harris their manager. Ray booked THE ASCOTS and was also president of the Olympia Musician's Union. One time he had THE TRAIN in his office and told us he could get us more gigs if we only sounded more like THE ASCOTS. Then he played their recording for us.

Wild Wood Flower - an Olympia band from 1968, evolved from the Ascots.   We had cool unifroms.
