So, at Christmastime when Jerry was a child, he was taken by his Mom and Aunt to see Santa at a local department store in Montgomery, Alabama where he grew up. Jerry asked him for an electric guitar, swearing he was a good boy all year long, which he was not.
Christmas Morning arrived, but there was no guitar. The very next day, Jerry broke open his piggy bank filled with money he made from washing windows in the neighborhood. He went down and bought a beat up piece of junk used guitar and came home and started playing it. His mother was pissed and he told her the story. She calmed down and swore that he would hunt down the lying Santa and knock all his teeth out. The chord progression he strummed became the chord progression for Alabama Getaway.
