Spike defined a genre before anyone realized it was a genre !! :)

He should have trademarked the term "Hulabilly" to get paid royalties on Tiki Oasis 2013. :D

John-O,
Once again, great work defining the theme!! Great set list.
Not sure where I first heard the term Hulabilly, but have long been interested in this niche genre referred to as "Tikibilly" by Del Villareal http://www.facebook.com/del.villarreal
who I met in 1996. There was also a band called Hulabilly about 8 years ago.
The reason I used Hulabilly instead of Tikibilly is I didn't want to pay royalties to Del!
