   Who or what is the  'tribute' supposed to be to? ;)

   In other  words, if they can instead focus on Pure Motives for what they're   
   planning on doing!

   Sort of like with me...when someone asks me if I'm going through my second   
   childhood, my reply is: "You mean there's ANOTHER one"? ;)   
   Because I don't have to worry about being a kid 'again' - I never stopped   
   being one, nor will I ever!!! ;)

   So? Just listen to the tunes on you tube and learn your parts, including the   
   inversions...or listen to MP3s or CDs, or anything else...that's how I   
   learned to play and it's how I still learn songs, and it works.

   You probably have billions more of those cells than I do, and somehow I   
   still manage...I'm sure you could do it.
