 Google Doodles - Dave_
Today's Google homepage carries an interactive doodle celebrating Les Paul's 96th birthday. You can wave the mouse pointer over the "strings" to pluck them, or click on the image of a keyboard and then use A,S,D (or Q,W,E / Z,X,C) etc to play the notes as though they were white piano keys.

Predictably, some people have already uploaded videos of tunes being played using the doodle - here's a rather simplistic "Stairway to Heaven":

Could you get two cursors to play a chord?

I agree, sounds nothing like Rolf Harris.

I really enjoyed this particular Google celebration piece yesterday, even though I can't play a note...:-)
