The Dave Holly Hour
He Loves to Entertain
When he was only four years old he put on a one-kid Christmas show for his family. He went to the extent of gluing cotton balls to his face to porttray Santa.
Around Junior High, he started doing celebrity impressions.
High School got him to thinking what he wanted to do in life. He was THE school photographer while only a freshman. He was also first chair baritone--the first ever freshman selected for any first chair. That led to Jazz Band where he won the Louie Armstrong Jazz Award as a senior.
In the midst of all that he was still thinking photography would be his profession until one Saturday night he called a friend to see if he was coming to town. He asked who was calling I told him it was Dave. He said, "You have a great voice. Have you thought about doing radio?"
I immediately switched to having radio on my mind. I graduated college and worked in radio straight out of college. Radio has changed drastically sine I was last in it, but I still have great memories of when it was fun despite the wages.
I had heard of podcasting and knew a little bit about. Didn't know how many episodes it would last. My wife predicted three. We have now over 300 and still going strong.
I love being on stage no matter what that stage is. If my memory would be sharp enough and my balance didn';t require a cane, I would love to be involved more in theater. So instead, I promote local productions heavily on the show.
It may be a niche market show but I plan on doing it for quite some time yet. I always tell my guests it's just a conversation where my passion is learning about their passions in the arts. I'm extremely curious about the start they had, how that still drives them and what they still want to accomplish.
I love the lady I call My Love. I love our wonderful Cavachon puppy Charlie. I love the friends we consider FRamily. I love music of all types but favor jazz ; despite not being an aficcionado I am a very big "Apprecianado". I Love Arts & Entertainment in the Sioux Empire (Sioux Falls SD metro area). I love baseball and am a die hard Chicago Cubs fan!
I could go on and on about who I am and what I've done in the past--including a decade of being a professional clown. So come back to this page often and see what has been addded.
