Did you figure out what Joe was using? Pull out your standard D Major Diatonic Harmonica and play along with the upper four holes in 1st Position (you'll need to know how to blow bend to get all of the notes). There's one note you can't hit though... 2nd Chorus... 4th Bar... it's the equivalent of the 8 draw (E in this key), but an octave higher. Joe has a mini harmonica, the first four holes tuned to the upper four holes of a D harmonica, and a fifth hole that has that E as the draw and most likely F# for the blow. A rare 5-hole mini. Did he re-tune it? I'll have to drop him a note and see.
