Re: [Harp-L] Important Three Stooges Harmonica Question

Hahahaha! 

 My contention is that Moe traveled forward in time, learned this skill from Michael Rubin. In exchange, Moe revealed to Mike the secret of the eye poke (fingers actually make contact with the brow bone) and Moe traveled again in time and space to teach it to Harmonica Frank Floyd. We know the Stooges had the technology. They revealed this in "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules" when they built a Stooge Tardis and traveled in time and space to Ancient Greece. Since Curly Joe was part of the time-travel, Moe must have gone back in time and taught this technique to himself. ERIFAHS is till working on the paradoxes involved. 

In this style of playing, Moe was but the learner. Harmonica Frank Floyd was the master. HFF just kills me...

I THOUGHT that student  looked like Moe! He kept hitting me and after
a while I told him I couldn't work with him anymore.

We have slaved over numerous Stooges shorts for more than three decades to find harmonicas in them. These are the sacrifices we make.

To elude Vulgarian authorities, Curly hides inside a floor-model radio, destroying the radio's innards in the process. When the Vulgarian authorities turn the radio on, nothing happens, but before they can check the vacuum tubes, Curly pulls this harmonica out and starts playing it. It is a very interesting harmonica with bells and trumpets, it's a huge thing that he carries in his jacket pocket - which also had a three-foot-long cigar in it.
> We are now seeking to identify this harmonica and present the video evidence to the public, in the same way NASA has the public browse through photographs of space to look for asteroids and stuff. This is just as important. We hope that someone will be able to identify this harmonica. Our original hypothesis was it was made by Weiss in Vienna. Although the shorts department at Columbia had a huge vault of cool stuff - and who knows how long it could have been there, this short was made in a decade after Weiss went out of business.
