They shared some members. Heck, I think you'd have to say even Rockabilly culture started with the music and maybe getting into your parents records. And one of my earliest cocktail memories was asking the Millionaire for rum suggestions for a Mai Tai. I certainly went to a lot of 'billy events before I knew of Oasis. Before we did Hukilau, we were talking about doing a rockabilly event at one of the vintage hotels in Pigeon Forge or old theaters around the area, then Hukilau just sort of fell in our laps. In Atlanta the 'billy community really turned out, but they were a lot of just mid-century fans and that was the predominate community/culture.
