I would use the overblow or blow bend if I wanted to hit the F#.  For the most part, I'd probably just play Ab, Bb, B, or Db.  Musician types dig when you don't always base your phrasing on the tonic anyways.

Hi,
Now I'm not Mike, but I think he said he plays that on a c harp which is
what I do when I sing it with a neck rack.
In that configuration, you're playing in third position.  The ambiguity
comes because you can do, at different places in the song either a
d-majorish scale (Use the f#) or d-minor (The blessed f needs no bending.)
and they both work. 
But I'm !!still!! Not Mike and he may very well have a different take on all
this.

Mike,

    What position do you use for "Can't Find My Way Home"?
