Dear Hogzilla,

Thank you for your kind message. I will pass it along to Horatio.

Your songs sound great! Fantastic performances!

Please spread the word about how Horatio Lee Jenkins' exceptional drinking abilities allowed him to humiliate Satan. So many lives could be touched and uplifted by his fabulous story and beautiful song.

And get "Drunker Than Satan"! It is amazing!

Thank you,
Deacon Frederick Leroy Elroy Smith

P.S.-Enjoy the glorious video for "Drunker Than Satan":
