Pretty special, I'll say (I share the same birthday as the great man, if only 85 years apart - I'd like to think that's kinda cool lol)

More cool Les Paul goodness... Yeah, Les Paul is still playing pretty great, from all accounts. I showed these pictures to my buddy Nikhil (nikhil korula band http://www.nkband.com/ ) and Nik told me that Les Paul was kind enough to sign his LP too! Nice.

Seriously check out Nikhil's band. Great band. Great guys. Nikhil Korula band just played the Bonnoroo Fest and played the South By Southwest Fest a few months back... and Dave Matthews hand picked them to open some show from him in San Diego and LA last year. So yeah, Nikhil Korula Band ain't no average garageband at all.

They are like mixing Dave Matthews with Paul Simon with loads of other things. Nik loves U2 also. I have to say, when they play shows... tons of folks and not one ass not moving and dancing. It's seriously just happy fun music that heals the soul. If they are ever playing near you... GO... Good times indeed.

Do they ever come across the pond to the UK lol? And yeah, Paul Simon, that's what I had on my mind - I couldn't put a finger on it, but that's what I had in m'head!

(is "The Way Things Work" the only album they have at the moment?)

Got another question for you if you have the time - have you ever known of Edge playing left-handed??

I'm not sure if Nikhil has played the UK yet. Check the shows sections at:
www.nkband.com
and
www.myspace.com/nikhilkorulaband

If you check their site, they have an album and an EP of covers and rarities. I think the next album in in the works right now. I was at some of the sessions for the first album. Nik invited me to Oceanway Studios on sunset while he tracks some vocals. By the way... a lil band called U2 used the studio for some of Rattle and Hum. There is even a R&H album award up in the lobby.

Edge playing left handed? No. That picture you showed is a reversed photo. I've seen a few like that. And I must say that is one that that frost my balls - when sites... and more than that... BOOKS get the pictures flopped. Very unprofessional.

Aha grand, I had a feeling that it was a case of retarded photomanship or whatever one wishes to call it

I do genuinely hope your balls don't frost over though!

I'm gonna see if I can get hold of their album on Amazon

Edge's Joshua Tree Washburn was a EA40 Woodstock Festival Acoustic. Tobacco finish. For the most part, the Washburn was only used for Party Girl. It was also used for "Seconds" during the War and UF tours. And for "Stay" and some of the acoustic set songs on some of the Zoo dates.

(LA Coliseum in 1987)

Bono used a few different guitars during The Joshua Tree. That was the tour that he went beyond "A Day Without Me" and actually played [at times held a guitar] on a handful of songs He used a Danvel Nelson Telecaster style guitar, Fender Telecaster Custom, red Gibson ES 335, Washburn Woodstock Festival acoustic (with or without you video), Alvarez/Yairi DY56 (electric/acoustic) in tobacco sunburst (seen in youtube link below, from Paris)
