If the overblows were at about 1:10 then they sounded OK to me.

Try pushing the harmonica further in your mouth. Also drop your tongue a bit to make a bigger resonanting chamber.

A little more control on the bends holes 2 and 3. Otherwise very cool. Awesome groove you got going there...

dude, you need to relax. You have WAY WAY WAY too much going on and it's running all together which ends up making me, as a listener, not want to listen anymore.

Slow down, form your ideas and play them. If you don't know what to play then stop playing. Pretend the music is a flowing river and you are a bird flying above it. It's cool to fly down to catch a fish or get a drink but you don't want to be swimming in it all the time. I'm talking about using space.

Relax.... take your RIGHT arm and place it in your lap. Sit up and then play. There is a ton of tension in your body and nobody plays well in that state.

Work on your intonation and especially the three hole bends.

Lastly don't think of the OBs as something separate. They are very much a part of the harmonica and music.
