[78-L] Grammatical error on Grey Gull and on Victor

[Han Enderman]

Even Victor makes errors. My favorite is:
Vic 21574-A by Jimmie Rodgers was titled on the first edition 
"My Little Old Home Town In New Orleans", which was corrected to "... Down...".
Reportedly the error reappears on Bluebird B-5609.

And names of composers have evident misspellings:
20778 Davenport Blues (Bix Biederbecks);
22049 Some Of These Days (Shelton Brookes);
21998 S'Posin' (Andy Razof-...);
20460 Hot Notes (Rodermich-...);
21703 Got Everything But You (...-Rezaf);
22691 Ho-Hum (...-Dana Suese).

Nice to have it confirmed that illiteracy is nothing new. The Toronto Sun and a 
local news channel CP24 are notorious for this kind of thing.
