weeeelll....'good" is all in the ear of the listener, and it depends on  what 
you want to do. Mine's a slightly different approach than the other  advice 
you've gotten thus far.
 
 If you want to play full 'songs', you can check out Christelle's  YouTube 
videos under Christellester...watch and listen to her play along with  actual 
songs (all different genres, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Country); check out Jason  Ricci 
also, Adam Gussow (both on YouTube): Jason's "Rocket No. 9" CD with his  Band 
New Blood is getting a lot of air play here.  There are a lot of  harmonica 
players who have CD's out: do you want to play riffs on blues shuffles  (what I 
heard on your website?) or do you want to play actual songs?  
 
There are tons of CD's/Youtube videos by the old blues masters: Sonny  Terry, 
LittleWalter, Big Walter, Sonny Boy Willamson available to listen to and  
watch as well.
 
There's a terrific album "Inspiration" I have that was compiled by  JJMilteau 
with 22 harmonica solos on it ranging from blues on Diatonic to Toots  
Thielemans and Stevie 
Wonder (Eivets Rednow) on Chromatic.
 
To my way of thinking, you can play just about anything you want on  
harmonica, if you set your mind to it...depends on what kind of music you like.  Most 
harp players have their own versions of Summertime; Amazing Grace,  etc. 
 
Perhaps it's a matter of altering your thinking, now that you know how  to 
play along with a band. Simply decide that you're going to play an  entire song 
from beginning to end...and go for it...be the 'vocalist' of the  Band (didn't 
hear if you already had one)...use your harmonica as the "voice"  (at least 
that's how I think of it...but I play chromatic and mostly full  songs not 
'riffs').
