to finish the album. Next year, we're planning an all
animated Christmas special with this album as the soundtrack.

and seven months to do this particular project with all
the little characters and things, and what it is?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
The length of it? Are you talking about thirty minutes
on television or an hour? It'll have to be an
hour at least. Okay, would you have it seems to
me that you would have to add a little more
to the story. Yeah, Well, do some more writing than
is a parent in this album.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Possibly a little possibly, But this album is fifty four
minutes long as is, and by the time you put
commercials and stuff like that on the TV show, in fact,
would have to be an hour and a half show.
Speaker 1 (01:19):

this concept, keep the magic in it all.

You've heard Conway Twitty and the Twitty Bird and the
song of course jingle bells. We're talking to Conway Twitty,
and principally we're talking about his Christmas album for nineteen
(05:44):
eighty three, something new for Conway. I assume Conway, that
you told me you reviewed something like thirty or forty albums.
There must huh sixty. There must have been songs that
you wanted to record that you just didn't have time
to recall. Yeah, there were there were many, many, many songs.
But some of them were great songs, but just did
(06:05):
not fit this concept. You'll notice with this album right
off that it started. The thing starts off with Santa
claus Is coming to town, and song by song by song,
it works its way up till the night before Christmas
and then Christmas Night, and it's a storybook album, and
it tells the story of the Christmas season and Christmas. Conway,
(06:31):
you grew up in Arkansas. You're a very small child
in Arkansas. I don't know when you moved to Mississippi.
That's the confusing part. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I was born in Mississippi and I lived there until
I was ten years old, and I moved up the
Mississippi River about ten miles over into Arkansas. Held them
in Arkansas when I was about ten years old. We
were times tough for your family. Well, we didn't know
they were tough. We didn't have anything else to compare
it to. But I looking back, I suppose, yeah, you
could say they were tough, but we didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So they were a really good times.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Did you go out in the woods and cut down
your own tree? Oh yeah, we did it every year.
We did it every year.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Back then.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
There was no other way to get a Christmas tree.
That's how we did it. Most boys that grow up
in the country do it that way.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah. You you get a lot of toys, No, we
got one.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You know, usually get one toy and maybe a little
tack of oranges and apples and candy and any special
Christmas traditions in your family that you have observed. Nothing
special except that we're all together, you know, at Christmas time.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And okay, all enjoy it. When do you open your
presents Christmas even night or Christmas Morning? See with a
lot of families, that varies. Yea, I understand that. For
years we did it on a Christmas morning, then we
switched to Christmas Eve night and vcture of the business
that you and I are in, sometimes you have to
do things a little different sometimes, especially with my whole
(08:08):
family living at twenty Cities. Some of them have trips
they want to go on, they have different Sometimes we
have to do it two days before Christmas. It's twity cities.
It closed on Christmas Day. No, since you have this
special Christmas display. No Christmas Twitter City is open on
Christmas Day. What are they allys for?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
The Christmas thing is from I think from six to ten,
five to nine, six to nine, six to nine, okay,
I got it, six through nine, actually six to ten.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Conway's assistant d Henry is yelling through the glass to
give us the So somebody's going to be working there
on Christmas?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh yeah, all the elves will be out there.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Will you be there? I'll be there. Sure. How do
you you never work on Christmas? No? I would say basically,
that's the one day and the whole year that the
entertainment business is kind of shut down. I'm talking about
the road business. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, actually the whole month of December is kind of
slow for some of them.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
But we could work.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I could work through it all, but that's the time
of year.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I take about six weeks off the month of December
and part of January. Take about six weeks off. Yeah,
I'll be there, and I guess the band then scatters
to the winds. Yeah, they go in all directions during
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'll go home. I guess the mama's or where they're from.
Let's go on with the song here by Meil Tilly
says mail ever made a Christmas record?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
To your knowledge, I don't remember hear any one. I
can't think of what. Well, if you can't think of one,

You've heard Conway Twitty and the Twitty Bird and the
song of course jingle bells. We're talking to Conway Twitty,
and principally we're talking about his Christmas album for nineteen
(05:44):
eighty three, something new for Conway. I assume Conway, that
you told me you reviewed something like thirty or forty albums.
There must huh sixty. There must have been songs that
you wanted to record that you just didn't have time
to recall. Yeah, there were there were many, many, many songs.
But some of them were great songs, but just did
(06:05):
not fit this concept. You'll notice with this album right
off that it started. The thing starts off with Santa
claus Is coming to town, and song by song by song,
it works its way up till the night before Christmas
and then Christmas Night, and it's a storybook album, and
it tells the story of the Christmas season and Christmas. Conway,
(06:31):
you grew up in Arkansas. You're a very small child
in Arkansas. I don't know when you moved to Mississippi.
That's the confusing part. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I was born in Mississippi and I lived there until
I was ten years old, and I moved up the
Mississippi River about ten miles over into Arkansas. Held them
in Arkansas when I was about ten years old. We
were times tough for your family. Well, we didn't know
they were tough. We didn't have anything else to compare
it to. But I looking back, I suppose, yeah, you
could say they were tough, but we didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So they were a really good times.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Did you go out in the woods and cut down
your own tree? Oh yeah, we did it every year.
We did it every year.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Back then.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
There was no other way to get a Christmas tree.
That's how we did it. Most boys that grow up
in the country do it that way.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah. You you get a lot of toys, No, we
got one.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You know, usually get one toy and maybe a little
tack of oranges and apples and candy and any special
Christmas traditions in your family that you have observed. Nothing
special except that we're all together, you know, at Christmas time.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And okay, all enjoy it. When do you open your
presents Christmas even night or Christmas Morning? See with a
lot of families, that varies. Yea, I understand that. For
years we did it on a Christmas morning, then we
switched to Christmas Eve night and vcture of the business
that you and I are in, sometimes you have to
do things a little different sometimes, especially with my whole
(08:08):
family living at twenty Cities. Some of them have trips
they want to go on, they have different Sometimes we
have to do it two days before Christmas. It's twity cities.
It closed on Christmas Day. No, since you have this
special Christmas display. No Christmas Twitter City is open on
Christmas Day. What are they allys for?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
The Christmas thing is from I think from six to ten,
five to nine, six to nine, six to nine, okay,
I got it, six through nine, actually six to ten.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Conway's assistant d Henry is yelling through the glass to
give us the So somebody's going to be working there
on Christmas?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Oh yeah, all the elves will be out there.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Will you be there? I'll be there. Sure. How do
you you never work on Christmas? No? I would say basically,
that's the one day and the whole year that the
entertainment business is kind of shut down. I'm talking about
the road business. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, actually the whole month of December is kind of
slow for some of them.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
But we could work.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I could work through it all, but that's the time
of year.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I take about six weeks off the month of December
and part of January. Take about six weeks off. Yeah,
I'll be there, and I guess the band then scatters
to the winds. Yeah, they go in all directions during
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'll go home. I guess the mama's or where they're from.
