See another thread for the definition of Hoedown, or check wikipedia. Basically a true hoedown is a somewhat rural (South or West US) where people get-together to eat, visit, sing, dance, etc. We will substitute other entertainment( show & tell about various ereaders) for the singing & dancing.

But the real reason is that's what DixieGal called it on the initial announcement.

I can pretty much guarantee you won't see me dancing or singing. Maybe a little humming (off key, of course) and some minor hip shaking (what? you don't hear that tune?), but that's it. And I won't be bringing any garden implements either.

I'll sing or dance anywhere, be it hoedown or throw down. It's fine with me if the title is changed. I'm looking forward to seeing y'all's e-readers, because all I've ever seen is mine and an old Sony that had the same type of screen as mine. I hope lots of people will come to our picnic.

I could sing since the court order has expired. (Something about my singing being an act against nature. I love music; but, can't carry a tune in a bucket.) (The prior joke was stolen in part from NatCh's forthcoming book, Texas Sayings for Yankees & Other Single Cell Lifeforms.)

Perhaps if you can make it to our hoedown, or if I ever get to Paris, you can teach me how to properly pronounce it.

We'd love to have you, DG. It's just a two day drive. Or you could fly into Huntsville, Birmingham, or Atlanta and ride with one of us. (Ya like how I volunteered DixieGal & Dreamer?) We really need a Kindle and an Iliad. I think we're pretty well covered for others.

I can actually sing, but not dance. Sadly, I also cannot travel at this time.

Ricky, if I help you dig ditches, will you hide me from my teenager?
