Narrative:

After contacting clearance delivery on ground at santa barbara airport, I entered taxiway. I was informed by ground control (on ground control frequency) that I had not contacted them before entering taxiway. I apologized (rather than debate the point) and asked to taxi to run-up area. Run-up and takeoff uneventful.
