When various characters are trapped or held captive (say, during a jail scene) the harmonica may be played, as [[Background Music]] if not by an actual character. It's also done in isolation, such as being stranded or lost in the wilderness. Or just camping or boredom, which borderline qualifies as the previous. Sometimes associated with [[Wild West]] settings.
