Hmmm....I live in the Appalachian mountains in the backwoods of West Virginia...and hillbillies are just plain folks who likes a simple and laid back lifestyle. They'll help you if they can and if they can't they wont. Many grow and hunt their own food. If there's something that needs to be done today and they don't do it...then there's always tomorrow, and if their gone before tomorrow comes...then it didn't need to be done. I'm guessing 80% or more are musicians. If the chicken and the pig wants to come in the house...let them. DO NOT CONFUSE A HILLBILLIE WITH A REDNECK!!! They are DIFFERENT!!! Rednecks causes more trouble and resist authority and if they don't like the looks of you then it's possible they will start trouble with you. Rednecks reject or resist assimilation into the dominant culture, while hicks and hillbillies theoretically are isolated from the dominant culture. To me a Redneck is a want-to-be Hillbilly who's attitude got in the way. If a redneck just read what I wrote...he's cussing me by now....lol. If you want to know more on the difference I sent you a website, there's good info on it.
