Loving Every Minute of It

Hey everyone, Nick here.  Wow...here we are, sharing with the world our unique set of sounds...all with the goal of melting someone's face off.  Don't worry, it doesn't hurt.   I want to use this first thought to give proper thanks to our drummer and recording/mixing engineer par excellence, David Bacon.  Most of what you see and hear on this site is his doing.  Thanks David.

Snakehandling, is a great first song start the face melting.  Don't you agree?  I have to admit, when Eric brought this one, I wasn't sure I could pull of the talking/singing angle.  Plus, there is a lot of soul searching that is projected lyrically...gotta move fast when you are handling snakes.  

When you are listening to it, don't you get the feeling that you really outta stand up and shout some praise?  If for no other reason than to acknowledge that apparently there are some actions other than caution and sin-free living rewarded in the afterlife.  I find it refreshing to think that the boundaries are inclusive of dancing, deliriously whilst in the coils of a devilishly, deadly reptile.  I mean if you think about it, the story ofSnakehandling sets a standard that says, "You can pretty much do any foolish thing with the love of the spirit in your heart (please feel free to choose your own spirit to praise)...and it can elicit redemption from on high."    Well here's hoping that the boundaries are as expansive as all that.  Hopefully my foolish, and praise-worthy, acts don't end with snake venom running through my veins...but it sure is fun to sing about it.

Yours in the Dizz,

Nick
