When you've played it a few times you quickly get over its meretricious side (provided by that ghastly C natural, but, as a diatonic harmonica player, I would say that, wouldn't I?) and come to heartily dislike the tedious thing.

What you do is sit there silently with your harmonica poised ready to play that C and blast hell out of it when it comes round, then go silent again. I rather like the low C on a tenor sax for that. When I start taking my accordion out to sessions I might try a fundamental bass C with lots of bellows shake.
