I improvise just fine. It comes down to me needing a few minutes, a quiet room, and possibly getting the melody slowed down to get something that others get faster. But as usual, I'm defined solely by what I struggle with and not by what I do better than most.

But back to the original topic, the time to approach him has passed. I read the whole thing wrong. He was just being nice and there's no interest there. It was kind of dumb to think there was.
