ERRORS & OMISSIONS In last issue’s review of David Ball’s Thinkin’ Problemreissue It begins with the paragraph, “1995 was a huge year for David Ball.” David won the Grammy in 2005, not 1995. Next paragraph should be “By 2001, Ball had again changed labels, going


with Dualtone…” Champ Hood’s last name misspelled as “Hoot.” We apologize for the mistakes. It was proofread, but our computer substituted an older version. But that’s no excuse.-Ed.
