Gosh, I'm not at all certain about how or when the magical 
instrument works (or what it is for that matter).  I do not think DD 
can tap into LV whereabouts at any 'ol time (that would make the 
tale quite a bit shorter!).  Not sure why he could here.  I'll do a 
bit of research and see what I can find.  

Thanks,
