[Harp-L] Over-Draw?... Or Harmonica Pathology...



So... I've always wanted to work up some arrangement of the old James Brown
song Night Train...
I've figured out bits and pieces of it..., and even compensated for the
dual-voicings from the two saxes??...
But something crazy happened today. 
At one point in the song, the horns are filling out part of a g-seven chord
with the emphasis being on a high b with a less prominent f underneath it. 
I actually got that to happen on a c harp, second position and I followed it
up with an eighth note passage g-b-a-g-e-d-g-c-b... The second g being an
octave lower than the g at the start of the little run/pattern/passage... 
On the original recording, the next passage has a b-flat sounding while the
band is playing a c-7 followed again by a g and then a repeat of the little
run...
And now my question...  In a momentary lapse, I forgot that we aren't
supposed to be able to get bends out of draw 7... And I... Somehow got that
b-flat up there... 
So...
1... Is an over-draw possible on hole 7?
If yes..., would the desired pitch be b-flat?
If no..., My God!  What have I done????
