Almost all in 2nd posistion. Last run on the C harp is over the G7 chord (V7 
in the key of C). This then resolves to the C chord (1st Position)-10 hole 
blow & bend C to Bb.
A very ingenious solo and probably the only pop vocal hit with 4 harps 
used(multiple even) and a real SIXTEEN BAR HARMONICA SOLO.
They tried every instrument on that solo and finally brought NB in on the 
session right before mixdown. That is why he has no credit on the first 
printing of that album. Ask him about it at SPAH. You guys will really enjoy 
his playing and wit.
