h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I know what you're thinking--darn those pesky writers, always thinking they know what's best...

1. 2nd paragraph. The punctuation following "developed" should be a colon rather than a semicolon. Also, I think it should appear as "19th-century funk" rather than "19th Century funk"--the hyphen being necessary because the entire phrase qualifies "funk." Not that funk should ever be qualified, but there you have it.

2. 2nd paragraph of "Melody vs Groove." I think the word should be "virtuosic" (adj.) rather than "virtuoso" (n.). Also--and this is definitely my fault--maybe describe the bowings as "incredibly complicated" rather than "of a more complicated order of magnitude."

3. 1st paragraph of "Old-Time Music Sounds Fabulous!" Have it read "the Clifftop festival in Clifftop, West Virginia." As awkward as that sounds, it's the most accurate, since Clifftop is the name of the festival and the name of the town. As it reads now, it sounds like it may take place all over West Virginia.

4. 2nd paragraph of "Old-Time Music Sounds Fabulous!" Have it read "Younger (i.e. living) musicians..." rather than "Younger (or living)..." since all of the musicians listed after it are indeed very much alive, and should be for quite some time. If the use of "i.e." is an abomination to you, that's fine. Just take out the parenthetical phrase altogether to have it read "Younger musicians..."

5. 1st paragraph of "Postscript" The punctuation following "once said" should be a colon rather than a semicolon.

That's all. I'll be quiet and go away now. Thanks.
