North American music of the 1930´s is, beyound any doubt, one of the major turning points of the cultural heritage of the 20th. century. For me, the works of Delta blues guitar artists are still one of most powerfoul sounds ever recorded, as we can listen in Alam Lomax´s field recordings or, just for instance, the only surviving 24 songs by Robert Johnson. The slide techique -the use of a metal or glass tube in the left hand to stroke strings up and down- widely mastered by musicians those days, produces a raw, deep cry moaning that, for me, is the very simbol of what happened wordwide in those barely decade in wich everything seemed to blow up in smoke.
That´s why I thought about this tube to name our club!
