I'm saying that I imagine that yes, John is there. He asks something stupid and obvious like, "Hey, you play piano?" because he can't think how to put the real questions he has. Such as, "Why, when I know the name of the dog you had 20 years ago -- the name of your junior high math teacher for Christ's sake -- why have you never mentioned this? Why did you approach something you're obviously good at like it's enemy territory?"
John knows when he doesn't want the explanation. He'll just goad Rodney to play some more.
