Listening to a Streisand Album: 'Christmas Memories'.

Have the liner notes in front of me.
 
First song is "I'll be Home for Christmas" with the original lead-in (my  
first thought was to include it for Mike Fugazzi...so wanted to do a search  
online to see if there'd be a YouTube of this version).
 
Found this: it's a youtuber's 'video' of the song (not badly done and the  
best I could find with the music not mucked with):

I clearly hear the harmonica coming in so wanted to see who was the player  
(given that Streisand's liner notes are usually impeccable about giving  
credit.
 
This is what she writes: 'Special thanks to my good friend David Foster for 
 his time, generosity and musical brilliance (especially the great 
"harmonica"  solo)'.
 
Given that David Foster and his wife Linda Thompson (friends of Streisand)  
co-wrote 'Grown Up Christmas List' (also on he album), and there's only 
musical  credit given generally for synsethizers/keyboards in the official  
credits (Foster, I think plays keyboards)--I'm now not 100% sure if I  actually 
AM hearing harmonica although it seems completely unmistakable to my  ears?
 
Can those of you with synth experience (Richard?) give this track a listen  
for clarification? The album was in production and completed right after  
9-11.
 
Thanks,
 
Elizabeth
 
PS: I would err on the side of giving Streisand credit of liking the sound  
of harmonica since she hired Will Galison to redo his gorgeous  playing on 
Bagdad Cafe for her version of 'Calling You'. My  main reason for 
questioning is why she'd put harmonica in quotes.
 
PPS: the entire album is fabulous, btw. I'm not into Xmas music  much--am 
usually long since fed up with hearing it by now but am finding  myself 
enjoying listening to both this one and Peter White's 'Songs of  the Season'. 
Here're 2 tracks from that album..not harmonica related, but nice  to listen to 
this time of year.
