Thanks, Dustie. Good to get some perspective on this. I just found a cable locally here that I will buy tomorrow morning at a local music store. Learning the GR-55 is second priority now since I just picked up a composing engagement that I want to do max-time, but it's great anyway to have a cable so I can fiddle on the GR at free time now and then.
