This is my first installment of Records That Time Forgot. If I find any musical artifacts that need to be shared with the world, I will gladly present them to you here.
Living outside of D.C., every once in a while, you can find some relics from the Library of Congress in thrift stores. This record comes courtesy of Step One Records out of Nashville and it encapsulates the beauty and simplicity that only a guy in a sweater/blazer combination could produce. On the record, Dave Holladay blesses the world with such kleenex grabbers as, "Pull Up A Pillow" and "I. O. Blues". Either track would have been a suitable B-Side to Kirk Van Houten's, "Can I Borrow A Feeling."
Maybe time didn't forget Dave Holladay's epic, but instead tried to remove it from the history of civilization by striking it from the shelves of the Library of Congress. Think about it - if the planet does get taken over by talking apes and only shreds of human history are preserved - the last thing we want is for them to slip Ramona From Daytona on the hi-fi and get whisked away to a time when you could make an album cover with MS Paint and Word clipart.

It's fabulous! I wonder how many he sold. Nice find. But slightly worrying that the LoC threw it out. Perhaps they had two?
