Pete Townsend's explanatory note
"Back in 1979 – when I was very, very drunk, I gave my black Les Paul to the Hard Rock Café in London. I couldn’t have known that this astonishingly generous donation (it was the best guitar I ever had!!) would transform a small American diner into a cultural icon, and help establish a collection that preserves the heritage of R ‘n’ R. Pete Townshend. P.S. Mine’s still as good as Eric C’s"
