Second position is popular for blues because the key notes of the blues scale happen to fall on draw notes that can be bent, and sound more 'bluesy' as a result. Second position is used for chords and is popular for Blues because of that, not a separate or random occurance.

However it's blues scale sounds the most sorrowful with a professional player out of any of the positions.ДЇor the other positions, I'm curious how you're getting bends and overblows to sound less Bluesy than anyone else. Third position is the second most used Blues position, and no you generally can't use chords with it. Traditionally it requires too many bends to be used for accurate melodies (apart from sounding slightly off, it will sound Bluesy if you play in 2nd position, more so than usual for other positions in any case). You can play train songs as well as many old styles of Blues songs only on a Richter-Tuned harmonica playing on Cross Harp.

Chromatics are, of course, another story.ДЇirst position is usually used for folk melodies, yes, because the Blues scale on it would otherwise require fairly good technique. I don't know exactly how you've been using the terminology, but usually the 12 positions are used to talking about Blues, particularly for Diatonics.
