23-Nov-2001:
I haven't figured the solo out yet (well, I already got the ending *ahem*), but it's
1.00am now and I have a busy day tomorrow, so that's something for later.
24-Nov-2001:
Not so busy day after all. I did an attempt at the solo, hope it helps the better tabbers
out there out to fill in the details
Have fun!
