Re: help! Gig tonight in nyc!

Tom,

Soon after I posted I got a call from Rogue music on w. 30th.  When I 1st
called them they weren't that helpful, but the guy who called me back 
seemed
confident that he could set me up with a adapter.  So I went down and they
found an OEM adapter that worked!!  Cost to me: all of $5.  Saved the day.
I guess Radio Shack just doesn't cut it in this case.  Thanks for your
interest anyway.

If you're all interested in what looped viola sounds like, you can visit my
website at www.leannedarling.com.  I will put my name on loopersdelight 
very
soon as well.

peace

Leanne
