He found some wrecked guitars and rescued them. She lost old friends. They met and became friends. He went to Cleveland to study jazz. She stayed in Bratislava. He missed her. She missed him. They met again in the US. They fell in love. They returned home. He discovered bow. She got bass guitar. He wrote songs. She wrote songs. They moved to a beautiful place on a hill called Dlhe Diely (Long Yards) They formed the band Dlhe Diely with some friends 
They started their record label Slnko records (www.slnkorecords.sk). They quit their proper jobs. They recorded few albums and lost few drummers. They discovered electronics and started to use ambient sounds and loops. They discovered that the hill Dlhe diely was previously called Longital. They formed the new band Longital. And finally came the drummer, and the dream of White Tiger telling them the SECRET
