Nashville, TN
When I mention the songs "California Dreamin", "Suspicious Minds" or Stand by Your Man", you can probably spout off the singer's name. But do you know who "played" on those songs? The musicians are often the unsung heroes of the music industry yet we wouldn't have music if it wasn't for those who play the instruments. Tammi Arender discovered a museum in downtown Nashville, TN which pays homage to those who've recorded some of the most famous songs in history, at a time when it was more about talent than technology.

"There are 13-hundred 52 guitar pickers in Nashville." So sang the Lovin' Spoonful in their song about Nashville Cats. I'm betting there are many more. There's only one place in town to find the rarest, most prized guitars under one roof. It's a store that evolved from one man's passion for precious stringed instruments - one that's become world famous for its six-string treasures.
