Google Honors Waukesha Native

Special image celebrates Les Paul's birthday

Google, a popular search engine, has changed its graphic on its homepage to pay tribute to the “Wizard of Waukesha.”

In a fun, entertaining way, the computer mouse can be placed over the guitar strings to play music – just like Les Paul once did. Les Paul’s birthday is Thursday. Les Paul is buried in Prairie Home Cemetery in Waukesha after he died in August 2009.

Les Paul grew up in Waukesha and is a famous guitarist and inventor.
