A hootenanny is a shindig! That is when a bunch of folk singers gather together and put on a show. A lot of times they will get the audience to participate through sing-a-longs and other ways (like music, dancing, food, and games).

A "Hootenanny" is a southern term used to describe a party or gathering. it can also be used to describe a event. eg. "You are invited to a hootenanny" or "i had a hootenanny of a good time."

A hootenanny was a gathering of people to sing folks songs. It has nothing to do with goats.

A raging hoedown! The evil hootenanny you speak of has been extinct for millions of years. (That's 100 years to you fundamentalists!)
