I know it is early in the year, but are you going to try and have another forum hunt this year? If it is in the summer I should be able to make it. If it is after school starts I may not. Will see. Anyway, maybe we can all get together up your way sometime in the summer. Supposed to be going to Texas sometime this summer. Want to take Joan down to San Antonio to see John Hagee preach. I just want to go see the Alamo. Love history.

Yes I was thinking summer again. Last year was the first fall one we had. I think that hillbilly from TN almost froze in our 40 degree weather!

I was watching the PBS station with my son-in-law while in West Virginia. The origins of the term was that the Irish immigrants would sing of "Good King Billy" and the locals gave them the nickname "Hillbillys". Now you know the rest of the story.
I also heard of one where the name came from MI potato farmers?

Good news. Look forward to coming up if we can. My CB handle was Hillbilly back in the 70's when CB's were the big thing. I am from Illinois, but was living in South Carolina while I was stationed in Mayport, Florida(whew that took the breath out of me). Anyway my brother nicknamed me the Hillbilly because somewhere I started talking like I was a southern person. Sorry Lisa, no offense meant.

Thanks Paul (NWO) or Paul Harvey....for the rest of the story! I guess I am a true hillbilly gal raised in the hills of the Ozark Mts. I sound like a Southern or used to and my great-grandparents on my mother's side of the family came from Ireland during the potato famine! 
May God Bless! Amen!
