I think the overblow works very well in this piece. I still have my doubts about the universal useful application of the overblow, playing in 12 keys etc. But then I sort of gather you think a little like that too. Hearing playing like this does encourage me to press on with pushing the boundaries of my diatonic playing. I've started  back working on the chrom this year,and it may turn out that I prefer playing my favourite old 20s 30s standards on the chrom...yet I'll probably always grind away at the tough positions on the diatonic. I'm addicted to it! Anyhow, a chrom can't be played one-handed (not comfortably anyhow) but I've realised that if you apply the modes on the diatonic (middle octave pattern of course) to the chrom, and repeat the patterns with the button in, then it's clear that these seven basic patterns apply to both instruments.
I always hate to balme the tool, but I think I'll have to bite the bullet (or bank account) and get a good custom diatonic. My own work sucks! But yeah...great stuff! More please?

Thanks!  It's actually pretty tough for me to play.  It goes from Eb
to F to Abm.

The version that on youtube isn't the best playing but the other one
that I recorded had a huge gaff somewhere....ugh!!!

Hope my music is changing your opinion of things.

Peace.
