Take It Or Leave It!

Hola from the land of booze and money.  It's been quite a while since my latest SSP blog, and for good reason!!  A lot has gone down in the last several months for SSP, and whereas I apologize for not writing as frequently, I must say I regard your time with me here very special...thus I'm not going to just spew shit for the sake of having a new blog.

Let's see...well I got married!!  That's right...that tall drink of water you see in the "Alcohol of Fame" video...yep...I finally gave in!!  Truth be known, Kelly and myself did NOT know each other prior to meeting for this video shoot...I awed her with my charming hillbilly etiquette.   In speaking of the video, since our Distribution Deal with Perris Records the "views" have been climbing, we were at 2k roughly 3-4 months ago and am now almost to 5k!!  Check it out, it's been around for a while, but just like an old lover sometimes you just can't get enough...

SSP is actually in the works of another video...so stand by for that!!  

Shows have been killer, as I told Keith the other night, it's hard to believe that 6 years later we'd still be rocking and rolling!  There is a HUGE show coming up in 2 weeks, at the Kyle Fair and Music Festival!!  You can check out the details HERE ... (show poster below)

Here's something I thought would be cool, I don't know how many of you watch VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show" but I love that show!!  It's awesome, if you don't have VH1 Classic you can watch it online HERE ... hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Flourintine, and Don Jamison are hilarious and accurate at the same time...they host rockers and ask them questions...some of which I thought interesting and good "blog" material...so here goes: 

-First CD bought with MY money:  The Black Album - Metallica.  This album would concrete my love for Metallica thus making them my Favorite band of all time...sometimes threatened by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Motley Crue...through the years Metallica has reigned supreme!! 

-First song learned on guitar:  I had to think about this one, but I'm pretty sure it was "Smoke on the Water" ... this tends to be a staple for the beginning guitarist.  I also learned the intro to Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters"...the intro to Manson's cover of "Sweet Dreams" and the intro to "Enter Sandman" ... any advice for a beginning guitar player??  Play with other musicians that are better than you...bottom line. 

-Song I wish I had written:  "Amazing Grace" this song has been sung, and will be sung as long as there is a voice to sing it, and regardless of who's singing it still rings home an amazing message.  Financially speaking...several come to mine:  "Hotel California" by the Eagles would be a good one.  "Start Me Up" by the Stones is played at every sporting event across the country LOL...

-Any other band I would want to be in:  Motley Crue...I've read a lot of biographies...alot...counted close to 50 the other day, and out of ALL of them...The Crue knew how to party...

Alright there ya go, a little insight into the mind that has given you inspiring lyrics such as: 

"Been drinking since 930 am" 

"I ain't working no more" 

"Well that West Virignia moonshine burns like sunshine" 

and many more to come I'm sure!!  

Come see SSP on Oct 18th!!  It's gonna be a great show, we're playing for upwards of 2 hours!!
