While My Guitar Gently....


Not sure how long this will be up for but the Google logo today is a playable guitar to celebrate Les Paul's 96th birthday. Brilliant!

  2. I can't play it, dang it!

    I noticed the logo earlier but had no idea what it was for. That's really cool, Fay.

    Thank you, Fay. I love the picture you used for your post. Jimmy Page was a great fan of and good friend to Les Paul.

    I guess I'll have to get with the program so I don't miss out next time. Good for Google for doing such an innovative tribute!

    Remember when Alphie and RIP Ford submitted their google designs? I think it was to Michelle Malkin's site. They were awesome.

    I was so impressed with their work. I wonder if these two are currently working on any designs?

  8. Michelle singled out both Alphie and RIP's submissions here.

    I miss their photoshops!

    Well, good night all...
