The city of courtesy

Ever since I started hunting for records by Huntsville bands, Jay at Sunburst Records has been helping by saving 45’s with Huntsville on the label. He’s come up with a few good records so far.

And then there’s this record.

I’ve asked around and nobody knows who Carlisle Davis is or why he was so concerned about newcomers being courteous. If I had just moved to town and somebody said “You’re in Huntsville now, you can’t be rude like you used to be in wherever it was that you live before you moved down here to paradise”, I'd probably get pissed off. This record is the only place I've ever heard the slogan "Huntsville, The City of Courtesy."

There’s more. Carlisle is a philosopher too.

One more thing about Carlisle: despite the promise that he made at the end of side one, he never does salute the elderly people of the city. That’s just rude.
