From wall to wall the icons sat
Nodding approval of each kind word said
Remembered and loved had they stayed
A simple form of remembrance turned hot red
More then what it were made to meant
Now became an escape, a fantasy
A museum of the great
An archive to the need be inspired
An encouragement to the hope lost
A true emporium of expressions
Tales told through what could not be seen or touched
And yet swayed the hearts of so many
Hmm… fiddled the riddle the curious reader did
A riddle of hope ? fantasy ? inspiration ? Expressions ?
From something one could not see nor touch ?
Ahh.. But hear perhaps ! it must be the melodious sound of music
Plainly heard but touches something much deeper
But an archive ? a museum ? An Emporium ?
Nodded approvingly, well and truly said
Murmured the curious reader
For it is the perfect description of the Utterly Unique

History
It started with an Eric Clapton guitar (a Fender Lead II, for the gearheads in the audience). The beginning of something that nobody even knew was beginning.
It was just a goof. A laugh. A joke among friends.
Back in the seventies, Clapton - the original guitar god, founder of Cream and Derek & the Dominoes, creator of the immortal "Layla" - liked to eat at this quirky American diner in London called the Hard Rock Cafe. The place was this funky old building that used to be a Rolls Royce dealership, and it was run by a couple of young Americans who liked to keep it loose. Founded by Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton, two enterprising and music-loving Americans, Hard Rock Cafe was an instant classic. You could be yourself at the Hard Rock. It was good food and a good time.
So Clapton got to be friends with the proprietors and asked them to save him a regular table, put up a brass plaque or something. And the young proprietors said, “Why don't we put up your guitar?” They all had a chuckle, and he handed over a guitar, and they slapped it on the wall.
No one thought much more about it. Until a week later, when another guitar arrived (a Gibson Les Paul, by the way). With it was a note from Pete Townshend of The Who which read: "Mine's as good as his. Love, Pete."
