here's the bit that's missing, I've substituted
a phrase for it, I tried to make something fit,
I have only a vague idea of what the changes are,
so this may or may not be a good match.
It is not all played at the same pace, for instance,
I kind of pause right *here*, after the D.

now back to the real solo, the finale, pause for
a beat or two before launching into this. It's
all a walking pace legato, then cry at the end:
