You Ain’t Heard Nothing Yet

Before country singer Willie Nelson’s long-time harmonica player, Mickey Raphael, officially joined the band, he’d show up at gigs and just start playing. After a while, Willie got confused, Mickey said.

“One day, Willie asked Paul English, our drummer and bandleader, ‘What are we paying Mickey?’

“Paul goes, ‘Nothing; he’s just coming to sit in.’

“Willie replied, ‘Well, double his salary’.”
