Wendy Bagwell was a comedian/gospel musician who died about 10 years ago. Sometime in the long ago Wendy (Wendell) recorded a song called "Here Come The Rattlesnakes". I believe it was released under other names as well, Maybe the Rattle Snake Song?

Anyway, in the song, more recitation really, Wendy talked of being at a church in I think West Virginia. Turned out it was a snake-handling church. Wendy and his backup singers started looking for an exit. When he asked somebody where the back door was, he was informed that there wasn't one. So Wendy sez something like, "Where do you reckon you'd like one?"

A member of the congregation chided Wendy for not taking kindly to snakes. The exchange went something like this:

Brother so and so: You mean if the Lord asked you to take up a snake that you wouldn't do it?

Wendy: Yes, I would . . . but he didn't and I ain't!

Sorry I don't have it. I had a Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters album years ago. Probably still do, just don't know where.

This is the sort of thing that might be right down Gene's alley. I'll check in with him.
