someone has suggested this to play with him on guitar at the next open mic on Sunday!
not sure what key he wants, but what position would you play.
the chart I have found has a couple of accidentals, so I might opt for the chrom, but only if he wants it in an easy key [C!].

The singer wins out. Ask the person who is going to sing it. Play it in second position on a diatonic harp in the appropriate key. Play fills.
If you need an example, check out Billy Branch's playing on the tune on the first Superharps CD.

Second position works for this tune. It may not be perfect, but it works very effectively. My band plays Route 66 and i play fills and extended solos using second position w/ no difficulty. Cool tune.

I've found it on my band in a box so can try it out, but yes 2nd pos looks feasible, and he sings/plays it in G, so C harp.

As a 'swing' it works in 2nd pos.
I do comping fills until my solo, and then do a Big Walter "Walking By Myself" rip.
Then I switch to 1st position for the outro...sometimes amped, sometimes on PA mic.
