The Google electric guitar

If Google is not your regular homepage, then you must take a minute today to check out the "google" guitar  ;D

Indeed - it's rather lovely, Diane, and very distracting. Took me a little while this morning to realise if you hit the keyboard graphic, it turns red and you can play the notes with your keys. I enjoyed a good 20-minute strum before work. I think this one will be remembered for some time!
I apologise, in advance.

I just strummed it with my "hand" mouse pointer. I will have to go back there now and check that out.

Thanks, Diane (and Tarks).  However I am not going to spend my time trying to make a tune.  I leave that to the less musically challenged.

As an owner of the original version of the Stylophone (and having recently bought the modern version from Hawkins Bazaar, a bit like Honest Abhuls but without the commitment to value for money!) Only joking they have some fantastic stuff, just in case they decide to sue!!! I am a committed novelty musical instrument fan...

(This post is rather spoilt as I can't work out how to attach the photo I was wanting to include! Any help would be appreciated)

Jerry, click on the 'additional options' below the window where you write a reply.  Click the button below 'attach' and select your picture.

The "Additional Options" button give you options in addition to the basic option of just sending a message. We set that up in such a clear way so that the most technologically challenged members, like Roger, would be able to understand. Thankfully it's worked well so far.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Hope Roger is glad he isn't bottom of the class any more as I have just taken over the role of 'forum numpty'.
Anyway here is the picture of my novelty instrument of choice (I just like making a lot of noise really...)

That is pretty cool Jerry. And the shandel chandeler chandlebra hanging candle holder gives you a very Phantom of the Opera thing going on.

Google is pretty awsome today too.  :)

You must have a very big house. What are you doing mixing with the likes of us?

Unfortunately I don't get the chance to get my hands (& feet) on this one very often as it is just slightly too large for the chicken coop I call home.  :(

We've got a chicken coop here on Bute. In fact, it's such a big shop, it sells other meats as well.

My Mum was lost in the post after the Co-op sent her home.  I don't trust them anymore.
