[edit] Plot

As Connie is being forced to practice her violin, she catches a tune outside, and goes out to see who is playing that different music. She wanders upon Hank's Bluegrass band, and wants to play along.

The gang decides to let her join in, and she gives it all she's got, really catches on fast to the fun spirit of bluegrass. Hank decides that she is good enough to take to the annual Bluegrass contest over in Branson all agree, except for Kahn. Connie has to hide her love of Bluegrass from her father. He doesn't want her participating in the "Red neck Hoe-down" that the Hill-billys are playing.

Meanwhile, Bobby is doing all that he can, to try and fit in with his dad's social activities, to no avail. Connie decides to lie to her parents, and go to Branson with the gang. She tells her parents that she is going to a classical competition for school, and tells Hank that she got the OK from Kahn.

Hank starts to take the competition too seriously, and starts to harp on Connie about practice, just as Kahn does, so Connie decides she would rather not play. When the fun runs out, so does she. Bobby meets a famous Russian Comic, and sells him a joke for twenty dollars. Hank is unimpressed, and doesn't even believe him.

Kahn finds out about the bluegrass, and Hank apologizes to Connie, and to Bobby as well.
