Default Graphing events (bar from begin to end)

Thought I would see how to do this but need help.

I want to show a horizontal bar that begins at time T1 and ends at time T2
(yes, the X-axis would be time of day). The y-axis value would be the name
of the event. For this data (already in Excel), the event name is unique as
there is only one set of data per name.

How can this be done in Excel? (2003 or 2007)
Thanks!

This is called a Gantt chart. Here are a couple articles to get you started:
