First Take Friday #119
Vampire Falls
Written by Jonathan Brader

Tale of the Tune
After being saved from death by Alligator Ali, Big Bad Jim was a bit discombobulated, as one would be after such a harrowing experience. Thankfully, aside from being a vampire, Alligator Ali was quite a lovely lady and a former nurse. She took Jim under her wing and showed him how to live as vampire. Ali lived in a cave that had a series of waterfalls inside and outside.

Due to the stories from locals about hearing and seeing very strange things near the cave and falls, the location was named Vampire Falls.  The falls was near Lake Ponchartrain.

Big Bad Jim, after a few years of living with Alligator Ali and evading capture/death during the U.S. Civil War, headed west and wound up in New Mexico where he met Cowboy Dan, Esparelda and the gang.  The rest as they say is history.

The Turn
Written by Jonathan Brader

Tale of the Tune
This song is a first hand account of when Big Bad Jim was turned into a vampire. Unlike the movies, there is usually not a long seduction by the turning vampire. Like humans eating a meal, they are trying to fill a hunger....to quench a thirst. That's exactly what happened to Big Bad Jim. Thank you for checking it out. - JB
