@gamster68 So there is a lot more credible evidence that the true origin of the term "Rockabilly" comes from "Rock Billy Boogie" & no evidence whatsoever that the term comes from combining Rock with Hillbilly
-
@gamster68 Actually there is no recorded use of the word "Rockabilly" prior to '53. Not by Webb Pierce or anyone else. Not in any song, written article, radio. & the Burnette song "Rock Billy Boogie" was written and sung in '53, (recorded '57). & the song is constantly mis-titled "Rockabilly Boogie" & not the true "Rock Billy Boogie".

@TheReverendBizarre Surf music is instrumental. The Beach Boys were about the California Lifestyle. Dick Dale and others with the deep reverb guitar sound is Surf Music. Pipeline, Mr Moto, Surf Rider, Misirlou etc. That is Surf Music.

@gamster68 How about this version. Rocky and Billy Burnette were born in Tennessee in 1953, making Dorsey and Johnny Burnette the fathers of Rock y Billy.
That's it, I give up - not because you made any sense, mind you, but because of your complete and obvious inability to follow a topic for even two posts. Last try:
-The Beach Boys were Surf music.
-The Ramones are a Punk band.
-The Ramones are very audibly inspired by the Beach Boys, amongst others.
-Therefore, there's a direct connection between Surf and Punk - at least as directly as between Country and Rockabilly (you DO know where the "-billy" comes from, do you?).
Learn to live with it.
