The party's a flop until Bob and his harmonica show up. Be like Bob

Our captain owns a harmonica he claims was a gift from a wind spirit, a means to call in a favor. We must only use it in the direst of straits, the wind not being known for its restraint.

Clara gave Marty a harmonica for Christmas in 1885. He was still lukewarm toward her, but his tepid smiles were the most he could manage after accepting he was stranded a century in his past.  

Marty turned the harmonica in his hand, trying to be excited about it for her sake. What was he supposed to do with this? Have a Huey Lewis concert at the next festival?

“I’m told Hohner is a well-respected name.”

“It is.”

He poked his tongue into it, absorbing a tinny taste before testing.

Huey Lewis concert…

Marty’s smile warmed at the idea.

“Thanks, Clara.”

I shuffled some of my music and Alanis Morrisette's 'Head Over Feet' came on right after the Mechanisms 'One Eyed Jacks' and you know what, every song should have an emotional harmonica solo in the middle

No, you mustn’t steal. We agree on that. Except when you steal someone’s heart, because that’s romantic. Or if you steal harmonicas from guys who play the harmonica at parties, because that’s being public spirited.

sometimes your favorite part of a song is the whole thing, sometimes it’s the harmonica line from the live performance of cracked actor in spiders from mars (dir. D.A. Pennebaker, 1973, r. 1983)
