Qrt This morning, while I was "shav- i j I In", the radio was going full blast with the tune, "Slap Her Down l ; ! A'gin Pa." And all of a sudden I 1 1 i was back in Brinkley, Arkansas : i on liberty from the Naval Air Station Sta-tion in Memphis, Tenn. Two of my i i buddies were with me. i! i 1 I'd always wanted to see some ; i ' real "Hillbillies" and go to one of I i 1 their Saturday night dances they '', hold in their homes. I never thot ' I would actually get to attend one. ; I Well, this night the three of us I ; were walking down an old dusty ' i road, when we heard the sound of I a couple of guitars and a banjo. , i' i The "music" was coming from a j i house, setting out in a field, just ! i j j off the road. ! , : When we walked closer the peo- , ij i pie noticed us and invited us in . j to join them. We accepted. When ; we walked in the front room, I j j thought, well here's your real "hill- i 1 billies" sure 'nough they were. The three "musicians" were sit- , ; ting in the corner (barefoot) play- ! , ing some backwoods tune of their ! own origin. Old and young alike' i were dancing. Every now and then j they had to dance out of the way I of two huge dogs that seemed to ! have the run of the house. The : J dogs were the first ones we made , friends with. I didn't want either i ; , one of the brutes looking angry j '. , : at me. ... At that time they made I a lion look sick. ! ' , I walked over to a doorway and ' t- looked into the next room. It was i I the kitchen, and just off from that , was a bedroom. You could have ' i knocked me over with a feather ! j ; there sat two or three pretty girls , i about 16 to 19 years of age, In 1 ' jj clean house dresses. The thing I C j ! noticed most was the fact that e i they were all spruced up and yet ' -li ! S no shoes . . . j I figured, well here was my 1 ..' . ; chance, I could pick the prettiest I girl to dance with before my bud- 0 - dies became curious as to what ! i was holding my attention so long. ! (I was just trying to decide which .. ' : of the girls was the prettiest). (; Anyway, we danced, dodged S those two hounds and drank "corn" from the jug ... I ljad been to a v-j real old backwoods "hoedown". ' Quite an experience, too. I , This coming Sunday, at the reg- ' ular meeting of the American Leg- Ion Post 117, Mayor Golden Black ' ; and Morgan Edwards will speak. '. ' i |
