Another time traveler captured in time?

In the future, harmonicas make a comeback and 'harmonica shuffle dancing' becomes popular with young millennials,...

Fun fact...

The Harmonica is the most sold instrument in the World. Yep.. the World!
By 1986 the Harmonica producer Hohner had produced 1 billion Harmonicas. And that's just one Harmonica Manufacturer.

My Pop had four of them (in different keys) and would play them quite frequently.

i remember the first time i saw a 'real' harmonica and i remember how heavy it was and the vibration of the plates when i blew into it.

very tactile instrument


in the past years i have picked up the saxophone, guitar and piano.

and i guess i never considered harmonicas an instrument in the classical sense

A couple of my favorite tunes with harmonica in them.





There are a few more.

Oh hell how could I've forgotten this, their cover of his song,

Be serious .
Cigarette case with mirror to check ones face and hair .

did you watch the video? Why is he purposelessly talking into it, you can see him direct the thing whatever it is towards back towards the band, like he was documenting what was going on also? IDK?

He’s not talking into ‘it’. The video clearly shows he’s talking to the chap sitting in front, who you can see enthusiastically talking back as the camera pans right.

To me it looks like a book he is holding with his fingers wrapped around the pages keeping it open , possibly a bible due to the preaching type gestures of the man opposite.

It's hard to see with the dim lighting in the room and the low video quality, but for a couple brief moments you can somewhat see the individual holes of the harmonica.

and he's talking to this guy, who is shaking his finger while talking back to the harmonica guy.

While I don't think its time travel, it seems a little slim to be a harmonica and what is the hole in the middle of the back of it.

I do not know what he is Holding , but I have Seen People Talk to People Behind them without Turning Around . A Possibility .

a reply to: GuitaristRob I can't identify the object in his hand but he is clearly talking to the guy directly across from him.

I think you might be the one who needs glasses it's clearly a harmonica

Looks alot like a mouth organ to me

Yea I got a harmonica myself. I never talk to it and damn well know better not to play it when a band is playing.

He's talking to the guy across the table , you see both of them pointing in the direction of each other and speaking. You can also see that he's holding a harmonica, clear as day at one camera angle.

Thats exactly what I thought it was at first (small book) but as the camera angle changes you can see all the holes for the harmonica

Before delving into the "time traveller" aspect of this thread, I'm first going to delve into the documentary itself.

Right off the bat I'm disappointed. We have a compiled list of historical musical artists within the "Memphis Music" scene and their influence around the world musically. Musically is the key word. And yet somehow from the very get go we have snoop dogg and some guy called "Al Kapone" to introduce the whole thing to us as if to make it seem like somehow these two bafoons, (snoop and Kapone) are actually real musicians who have the same relevancy to sit at the same table as those REAL musicians.

Snoop dogg and this Kapone fellow can only spit tainted words into a microphone without playing a single note or beat from a real instrument, words with the worst influence modern society has ever witnessed called "hip-hop". It's total trash, and it is, in my opinion, one of the single biggest reasons for the soon to be fall of modern civilization.

Perhaps I'm being too mellow dramatic. Ya think so? Time will tell. Now on to the time travel stuff...

Hiphop or rap? Those are two different things, its like saying bakery sucks because of taste of apple pie

At 44:41 in the vid. The dude has claws and fanged teeth. Freeze it there and look. So obvious. What species?

a reply to: UpThenDown

have you ever closely looked at anyone when at a really good music concert to see what they are holding or paying attention to the show?

now take a device the side of an average cell phone (which at that time would be about the size of a cigarette case , notebook or even as some suggested a mirror).

would that really stand out?

not at that size.


it would be easy in that crowd to be jamming to the toons and not looking around closely at others.

now given at that time a "cell phone" wasnt even a concept much less in the minds of people.

so how would a small case stand out?

lets take star trek TOS..
the "tricorder" they carried.

it looks alot like that time frame of a purse , a camera case, binocular case or just a bag of some sort.

unless you were looking for a while at them you just see a man/woman opening a bag (at best)..

in a crowd would not even notice that..

so it is quite possible to have a "cell phone" recording the event and no one at that time would notice much less have any idea anything was amiss..

harmonica is an interesting theory.

but i cant quite believe that.

first the screen shot shows a series of "spots" on the side of the item in question

now look at the side of your cell phone..

in does have some buttons on the side that in a poorer photo look like "holes" and in some case for a charger , earbuds, ect does.

the screen shot shows (YES i know not greatest quality) a device THINNER and wider than a harmonica..

now lets take the argument he was "talking" to someone across from him.

unless your talking about or asked to see his harmonica how often (even back then and musicians) just "whip out your harmonica" in a general discussion just because?

i dont "whip out my car keys" when just talking to someone, or even my phone unless it involves those items.

now again im not saying he is a time traveler, its a cell phone, or even a cigarette case (that would be more logical at the time as proper social common thing ) .

but i do admit the idea of a "time traveler" using a device that could be mistaken for something else (given a cell phone or thin recorder was not even science fiction then) is an interesting idea


hell even our "scientists" trying to discretely observe/ record something make mistakes
