Dumb question about Vcc and Vin

Hi,

I was looking at the tube cricket schematic and had a dumb question.  Vcc and Vin are used but I am not completely sure where these points are suppose to connect.  Vcc has something to do with grounded voltages, so does that mean that point would connect to ground?  Vin I thought meant Voltage In so that would be your source voltage (+), right?

Thanks

Never mind, I found the answer, need more coffee!

Vcc would be your supply voltage for the collector on your transistor. Vin would be the input voltage like in a voltage divider. You have an input voltage, Vin, that is then divided or split into an ouput voltage, Vout. A schematic might be helpful though.

There are no dumb questions!
