[Dixielandjazz] Bloopers

"one of the most shamefaced moments of my writing career came when I
reviewed the album for Down Beat and, instead of saying that the solos and
the spirit were energizing, I wrote "enervating." I didn't catch the error
in galley proofs and I didn't catch it in page proofs and consequently it
came out that way."

Something similar happened to me some time ago. David Reffkin interviewed me
for his San Francisco radio show, the interview subsequently appeared in
David's "Ragtime Machine" column in the Mississippi Rag. One of the words I
used was "vicarious", it was printed in the Rag as "victorious" !
