Saw her with Les Paul on Monday night. She's got great intonation and really solid soloing abilities. If you're in NYC, check out the show. (Set also features Frank Vignola, who is easily the most chops-heavy of the regulars.)

Is this the Australian? I've heard great things about her.
Les Paul is physically amazing. A friend was over to see Tom Doyle, Les's sound man. Les (now in his 80's) and Tom were out until 5:00AM enjoying liquid refreshment.

Yes, she's Australian. (And a hottie.)

For someone who's 86, Les does pretty well. However, I did notice that all of his guitars have been fitted with Bigsby tailpieces, as his left hand no longer possesses the strength to provide a traditional tremolo.

I was referring, of course, to a different kind of strength.
