[Harp-L] Obama's harmonica?



Today Politico.com had a link to a home video shot by John Legend as he was waiting in a receiving line to shake President Obama's hand the day before the inauguration.  Also visible in line are Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, Biance, Tom Hanks, Itzak Perlman and Josh Grogan.  The video concentrates mainly on Legend and Biance and a little friendly chat they have with the President.   

Right after that chat, the President continues down the line to Josh Grogan.   Unfortunately the camera doesn't follow him so you can't see what's going on.  But you can clearly hear President Obama say to someone (possibly to Grogan, possibly to one of his daughters who are right there with him) "Don't lose that, that's Stevie's harmonica!"   

I'm guessing that earlier up the line, Stevie Wonder gifted Obama with a harmonica?  (I suppose another possibility is the Obama was carrying a harmonica to give to Stevie?)

Either way, it's pretty cool to hear Obama talking about "Stevie's harmonica"!
