Title: Before it vanishes at midnight tonight and since nobody else has mentioned it
Post by: Snoopy on June 09, 2011, 06:54:59 PM: Today being the anniversary of the late Les Paul's birth Google have put up one of their "special" pages.
Those that use Google as a "Home Page" have prolly seen it but it is well worth a look.
You can actually pick out a tune on the guitar they have engineered! Brilliant!!!
