You nailed it: It was second position, overblowing to hit - I think - the F#. I actually bought a brand new Special 20 for the gig, but couldn't get it fine-tuned in time, so I had to use an old beat Golden Melody*.

* That harp's claim to fame is that Sugar Blue once tooted a few notes on it at a bar in Prague to get a free drink. :-)
