RE: slide, blues
Title: re: slide, blues
I
believe it was Sol Hoopii, who was the hawaiin who introduced lap steel
playing to the indian music tradition, as a result of being stranded in India
while on tour by the Japanese blockade during WW11, though I may be getting my
Hawaiin slide masters mixed up.

blues?
An curios statement considering that slide was invented by
Hawaiians.There
was a huge hawaiin music fad in the 20s(.Ever seen the
pictures of the
college guy w/ a racoon skin coat ,a strw hat and a
ukulele? that was as hip
as a white guy could get ,for thatgeneration)
Anyway Hawaiian music had a
huge influence. and not just on Country
,B.B.King has said part of his
vocal lead style was influenced by
Hawaiian steel guitar.
