Narrative:

After I called for taxi clearance I started taxiing to the active runway 13 at crp. Passenger called from back to tell me he was in a hurry. I turned radio down so I could hear him. I crossed the taxiway before I noticed that I had called for taxi clearance on ATIS frequency. I called again on the correct frequency, and got clearance to taxi and code.
