    Default Now here's a gig you can really sink your teeth into!

    Glory be!

    The Snake Handlers Church of New Mexico needs Appalachian style musicians for an up and coming tent revival. Jesus has foretold his 2nd coming, later this year, sometime in March, before tax season. We anticipate the coming Apocalypse and welcome you to join us in separating the sheep from the goats by dancing with snakes and playing music in His honor.
    Jesus said if you dance with a snake, and if God's Holy Ghost is upon you, you will not die. We have seen this miracle happen! --Mark 16: 17-18 (in my name...they shall take up serpents.")
    Now is the time to believe brothers and sisters! Show your faith and come forth!
    Repent for the Rapture is coming, let's be ready to embrace our Lord! And snakes! For dancing! For God! For Jesus!

    However, for the up and coming revival we will need to replace some folks that passed away recently:
    Rev. Randy Martin the banjo player
    Maynard Gilliam The mandolin/dobro player
    Lucille Grayson The guitar player
    Samuel Hughes (brother Fat guy) our sound tech
    The youth minister, Steven Wright
    Our donation box handler, Kody Willey
    Our snake round up coordinator, William Bumstead
    Paul Miller our saw player
    And, I was just informed at last night, sister Janice Tuddle, our long time lead singer and main snake dancer succumbed to her wounds from last Sunday's revival, so we'll need to replace her as well. God we pray you be with their souls.

    Please send your resume to:
    The Snake Handlers Church of New Mexico (SHCNM)
    Address and website forthcoming
    For now, please use this email.

    God bless and have a great Sunday

    Looks like they lost their entire band to snakebite.
    My band would go if they allow us to play this:

    I'm so glad that the second coming is going down "later this year, sometime in March, before tax season." 😂

    A very creative way to get out of paying taxes.

    Sounds like the most thrilling concert venue since the tilted Titanic rear deck...
    Do you get to see the ark of covenant, too?

    The one time I saw a special on TV on snake handling churches, the music I heard at the particular church was a rock trio of electric guitars, bass and drums playing bizarre rockabilly-like stuff...loud.

    I wonder if that is what these guys want too?
