This is doubly true if you are attempting to play songs from another musical zone on an instrument that was not intended for it. If it sounds good, do it. How would Blues have become accepted otherwise? It did not follow "the rules" | |

You can go just about anywhere you want on that journey (sharps, flats, even moving temporarily to other keys), as long as you return home in the end to the main key. | |

If this was a Schubert song, I would guess that the B-flat chord is used as a "Neapolitan sixth", a kind of funky added chord that leads to the dominant and creates an extra feeling of tension. Without knowing your song, though, I can't say how the chords are used. | |
