    Default Google-Tar for Les Paul's Birthday

    Has everyone checked out Google today?

    There is a very cool Google-Tar for Les Paul's birthday. You can even record yourself.

    Here is mine http://goo.gl/doodle/7Wg1

    Mike, listening to that makes me want to go to Devil's Tower for some reason?

    The whole thing is a fitting tribute and just plain fun. I love that you can actually play it, record it, and play it back - and grab the code and send it too.

    This is wonderful and lots of fun to play around - I feel like my productivity at work today is going to go down quite a bit.

    You can even lay down a rythm track and play along with yourself.
    Remember in the Buddy Holly Story, he asked to lay down a track and play along with himself like Les Paul.

    I just found out about the key combination myself, and was a bit bummed that I had no more time to play with it. But fret not! Google has decided to let the doodle up for another day! (they just tweeted about an hour ago http://twitter.com/#!/google)
