Google Chrome Explores Middle Earth
On 'Morning Edition': David Greene wishes he had that Middle-Earth music

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

(SOUNDBITE OF GOOGLE'S JOURNEY THROUGH MIDDLE EARTH)
GREENE: Not all the Hobbit's haunts are available. Google still has to unlock three kingdoms before you can rule them all. I just want to know where this cool Google Maps' music was when I was driving, lost in West Virginia.
It's MORNING EDITION.
