Shared Visions Unlimited with Greg Dixon

One of the chapters in Tales from the Turkey Table by Bill Allman explains the origins of the song My Baby's Going to Jail For Christmas.

We made a quirky video for fun.

Here are the lyrics:

(prelude)
Well, you went out one night in October,
With a gun, and an old pair of my stockings.
And you held up a convenience store.
Then the po-lice came a knocking.

(chorus)
We’ll be wassailing in the snow,
Hanging ‘neath, the mistletoe,
‘Cuz my baby’s going to jail for Christmas.
We’ll be drinkin’ all night long.
Singing all those Christmas songs.
And we’re happy that he won’t be with us.

(verse)
Did you think, when you went inside
Who would keep you warm on Christmas Eve?
When you feel cold feet in your bunk at night.
Baby, you know it’s your cellmate Steve.

(chorus)
We’ll be wassailing in the snow,
Hanging ‘neath, the mistletoe,
‘Cuz my baby’s going to jail for Christmas.
We’ll be drinkin’ all night long.
Singing all those Christmas songs.
And we’re happy that he won’t be with us.

(verse)
Ever think that you’d ask old Santy Claus,
For a prison tattoo and a great big carton of smokes?
Well your brother dropped by and he told me to ask.
Honey, what’s it like when you drop the soap?

(chorus)
We’ll be wassailing in the snow,
Hanging ‘neath, the mistletoe,
‘Cuz my baby’s going to jail for Christmas.
We’ll be drinkin’ all night long.
Singing all those Christmas songs.
And we’re happy that he won’t be with us.

(spoken)
Dear baby, Merry Christmas from jail. I’ve been punching out license plates, and waitin’ on your mail.
And if you want that conjugal trailer to be a rockin’,
Could you put a shiv, in my stockin’?

(chorus)
We’ll be wassailing in the snow,
Hanging ‘neath, the mistletoe,
‘Cuz my baby’s going to jail for Christmas.
We’ll be drinkin’ all night long.
Singing all those Christmas songs.
And we’re happy that he won’t be with us.

(spoken)
Uhhhh… wait a minute, what’s “wassailing”?
And why is my brother there?
More often than not, there’s room for one more at the turkey table in here.
They’ve locked me so far away, they’re gonna have to feed me my Christmas dinner with a slingshot.
Next year, when I get out, I swear.

I’m gonna ruin Christmas.

From the origins of Christmas in a stable run wild, to a malevolent snowman, to hipster beard decorations, THIS is the book that the whole family can enjoy at the most wonderful time of the year.

 Well, maybe not the WHOLE family. There are words in here that should not be dancing with sugarplums in children’s heads.

But TALES FROM THE TURKEY TABLE serves up platefuls of laughter in a perfect antidote to the saccharine and syrup that is now demanded from us during the season of peace and goodwill (and Santa, and reindeer, and elves, all the damned elves. SO many elves).

An excellent gift for your Christmas-Twisted friends and relatives!

American Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season are coming up soon.

Consider giving your family and loved ones a Story Production to capture personal and family stories as a lasting gift.

We are not getting any younger, and sometimes the opportunity to capture personal stories passes us by.

I have some regrets in that area.

Collaborate with me to capture and preserve the stories, photos, video, and audio in Google Drive folders.

I can conduct interviews and facilitate family storytelling sessions. You never know what will come out of the woodwork!

Then we organize our content into various story productions in different formats. Simple photo and video montages are excellent for presenting at memorials, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

A personal or family website is perfect for sharing stories publicly.

It is also possible to have the family update and expand the content over time, making the website a living legacy.

A Life Vault is a multimedia portal that supports multiple levels of access, allowing you to share only certain stories with family and friends.

The stories can also go into books that can be printed or viewed as eBooks and Flipbooks.

Let’s start with identifying and capturing the most important stories.

In 2013, I helped my friend Margrett Donley record Love In the Middle for her mother.

The song is by Kevin Ross. We used the Ruthie Foster version as a model.

Mike McCray played guitar. I added light bass and drums.

I love the emotion in Margrett's singing.

And we need this message today.

Enjoy!

Chances are that you have seen many power-house marketers telling you that you need to have a book for your business and that AI can vastly speed up the process of writing a book.

All true.

However, there is more to the story.

My bias for Writing For Fun is that the writing itself is the most human and rewarding part of the process.

Having an initial manuscript is just the start of a process that involves getting the book edited, formatted, and published with a good cover.

Then the real work starts for marketing and leveraging your book to boost your business.

And it may not do that if people read your book and decide that the AI book does not match your authentic self.
