Uh-oh, wait until Chris M sees this, haha. Now that's something I'd pay to see, a Michalek/Willis smack-down harp event.  But after Chris smokes him, that's when Willis gets out the automatic weapons from beneath his jacket and then it gets interesting.

PS I don't really like willis too much (strikes me of massive ego, maybe it's just the "image" and he's not really like that) or his movies (what, run across a field of broken glass barefoot and still kick some ass?), but I've heard him play and he's better than other celebrities that only get on tv or publishing deals for their music because of their celebrity. At least his band was playing music I like, it was some good blues. He's not as good as a hell of a lot of other folks who will never get that chance, but who can blame him for taking it.  I guess the fun thing to watch would be the Willis/Akroyd challenge, celebrity harp smackdown on pay per view.
