Mountain Music, such as that which has been promoted in a previous entry (by JP) is sometimes "code"for "hoopie" music. The question becomes - who is paying off JP to promote Hoopie Harmonics?
Hoopie is a slang term used in the Upper Ohio River Valley in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia area. Originally used in the East Liverpool, Ohio area to refer to people from the hill areas of West Virginia who would bring saplings in to town to sell to coppers to make barrels, it is a derogatory term, much like hillbilly and hilljack, that is still in use today. Anyone living in the Northern Panhandle and contiguous environs, can be considered a Hoopie according to some lexicographers.
Wiki answers.
PS Over the years there have been several attempts by citizens to have their "hoopie" credentials or status revoked. None of the appeals have been honored, primarily because no Hoopie Court considers such a request to be made by any but a "crazy Hoopie" , invoking Guardian Ad Litem post Prandial authority.
