GROOVY came out of the 1960s, and is the ‘Boomers’ vernacular for: Nice, Neat, Cool, Awesome, Incredible, or, Spectacular. There is a train of thought, the word evolved out of the record business, relating to the grooves on a record. ‘Boss’ was another alternative slang for the same. I was recently reminded of the phrase, ‘far out,’ and there was also the phrase, ‘out of sight’ which, by the way also described the incredible. I.E. ‘That car is, out of sight!’

Go! Groovy
Groovy Music – 1966
The Groovy Gazette features several personal interests divided among several Scrolls.
The Scrolls @ The Groovy Gazette
Groovy Docs
This is where my main entries are displayed, including but, not limited to, Love, Peace, The Law of Attraction, Home Life, Employment, Health, and once in awhile, even politics though, politics does seem to affect my blood pressure, negatively.
Stock & Fund Portfolio
Welcome to my edition of the stock market with plenty of links to Market News, Commentary, Exchanges, Futures, and Quotes with a look at my Portfolio as well.
Random Notes & The Library
Things happen. Random occurrences. Thoughts in a couple of sentences. Books. Authors.
Chicago Cubs
America’s most beloved Major League Baseball Club just happens to be my favorite, and I’ve never been to Chicago. I’ll explain the whole scenario of how I became, and remain a Cubs fan. The most recent complete game score, and links to other Cubs locations with stats are also featured.
Vision Board
This is used as a tool with The Law of Attraction. It is used as a display of gratitude, and future gratitude for all that one has, and will have in the future. It is a reminder of what is important. This is my personal reference.
Laughs & Smiles
Humor is important in life. Remember to laugh, and smile when you’re tickled in that direction. I enjoy humor, especially puns, word play, also known as, groaners. If it tickles, your life has just been enriched so, go ahead, and acknowledge that with a laugh, smile and/or even a groan.
You’re invited….
You are also invited to the right side-bar for refreshments. I’ll take you on a quick tour.

I’m thankful that others believe The Groovy Gazette is worthy of being honored, and proudly display the Honors on the side-bar.
Thank you….
for taking your time to come by.
I’m Dave. I wrote this message, and I didn’t necessarily approve or, disapprove this message. Who cares if I approved it or, not?
More Music
I am a ‘Boomer’ who still enjoys the music of the 60s & 70s, and vaguely remember some from the 50s. Come join me for a music fest from that era on,BLIPon-line. Read The Groovy Gazette, and surf the web while listening on another tab.
Click play on one of the listed music selections, and it will continue to play music through your entire visit…theoretically. In reality, it requires a kick start (re-boot) once in awhile.
I am a baseball fan, and the Cubs have been my favorite team for quite a few years, now. I intend to live long enough to see them in a World Series.
Some refer to me as older, some say, I’m old. One other believes that I was a pioneer dinosaur.
Thanks, again for including me in your day. That is really groovy of you!

Hi Dave, it’s funny how the older generation chastises the younger for not having any taste for “real” music. Every successive generation feel their music is the best.
With the advent of youtube, I’m hearing people of all ages finally appreciating music from all genres. The internet really is a great equalizer, eliminating generation gaps and finally bringing people together to love music. It’s just that simple and wonderful.
Thanks for sharing the Groovy gazette, i’ll def. be partaking. Peace to you Dave.
I am quite enthused with the appreciation of music as it has evolved from a generation gap to generations appreciating music from another time, and closing that musical generation gap.
Music is one common denominator to uniting the citizens of the earth in peace.
I am appreciative of your blog’s name, 1EarthUnited, as it says so much in one number, and two words. It is not only a possibility but, already a reality for many of us.
Thank you, again for introducing me to, Bloggers For Peace.
This message is long overdue Dave. Thank you for visiting and following my blog. “Feelin’ Groovy” – wow, I haven’t heard that song, even the word “groovy” in a very long time! Thank you for posting that video. All the best to your site!
Hello my friend,
Do you write for a living? I think you not only have a thought process about yourself that feels right & good, it is written so eloquently that it should be share away from WordPress as well.
I do not think I have heard such a great argument for being so comfortable with “getting older” The word older was terminology I was not comfortable with until reading this post. It had been something I was fearful of. Not the act of getting “older” it was the word which held such negative considerations for me. I’d never deny my age despite not wanting to be defined by it as I have not wanted to be my entire life. Experience vs the chronological number it rakes to live those experiences is what I count.
I am quite content where I am in my life personally, and like living in my own skin. Its only because I am older and wiser that it feels right and is a good thing. So I really need not duck the word.
You have taught me another way to look at the word, “older” and I kind of like it,
This is the most perfect analogy of a beautiful thing our life forces create. I am humbled by these words which left me to ponder and reflect back on their significance before commenting. A striking prompt for writing about this very subject you have created here.
And can I say Dave that I was quite touched by your casual tribute (my word) for your son. Its endearing how you both see one another through your own eyes & heart?. There is no other love as sweet & pure than that between a parent & a child. My two, daughters, also adults are my proudest moments rolled up into these two stunning young women.
Being seen as a dinosaur.is a great thing in my mind ,I have a young make relative who is now into dinosaurs. I see the attraction through his eyes, having raised two girls who were not so much into dinosaurs did not give me the affection I see now through this young man. Being 6 yrs old and knowing all the names set me back in a chair, some I cannot even pronounce. I am challenged by him. How lovely children are..( just thinking out loud. )
You must also be a great conversationalist. Great discussion points, Thank you!
In reality, it is special that my son refers to me as dinosaur. It’s been his ‘pet’ name for me since he was a baby. He went through a time when dinosaurs were the most intriguing subject in his life. Cartoons, movies, tv, and another phase all the way thru pre-teens.
It has become our joke now, that he is in his 20s. Though, as I age, he might be coming to believe more, and more of the possibility that, I just might be a premiere, pioneer dinosaur.
None the less, I will probably always be his dinosaur.
I realize that, yes in reality, within the human species, I am gaining in age but, that it really doesn’t matter as long as I am having a good time with it, and I am. However, I find it’s okay to acknowledge the reality of it. I’m older, and so what? It’s part of the natural function of the Universe.
Without each one of us being the perfect form of energy, the Universe could fail operate perfectly. So, I must be at the perfect age, perfect time, and place as you, and the Universe continues to operate in a perfect arrangement.
Thank you, my dear friend for your always kind remarks.
This is a great.. ahem..”About” but instead of older how you are an original? One of a kind?
I think we all get my point.. Never older Dave,, anything but for us Boomers Please..
Thank you, Dear Lady Baroness Aging gracefully is okay but, it is very tough when, my own son thinks of me as, not just ‘a’ but, ‘the’ pioneer dinosaur. However, as you wish…let us each be authentically, unique. In spite of anyone else’s perception.
Your message is a delighful way to start this day. Thank you Dave.
Your son has a unique way of telling you how special you are in his life. I like his style too. Must not fall to far from you..
Its not easy I agree, getting “wiser” with age.. but thinking of the alternative and we end up right back here ..loving our life as it takes us on this journey like none other. One of the treasured gems about this time in our lives is having the courage to live out our convictions, I see even from here you doing that my friend. And am proud to call you my friend.
So let your son have his misguided thoughts of you.. we know different. Although him saying to you that “you are unique” in his eyes is pretty special; and I do believe this is what he means Dave. But then I am always looking for the things in each set of life circimstances to be “Glad” about. The Happy game of Pollyanna.
Hope you are doing well my friend. I think about you often and am quite enamored with this friendship. Thank you for this and thank you, for you~
Thank you. Security was recently compromised so, had to start all over, again with a lot of the same content. That is why, ‘A Second Cup’ was retired. Thanks, again!

Don't allow anybody's judgement of you, to become your signature
Ego has top billing with the weak
Peace is at your beckon call
Guns don't kill people. People with guns, kill people
Selfish is just a part of unselfish
Impossibilities are possibilities in disguise
There are no shortcuts in life if, you don't look for them
Dreams are dreams until, you make them real
War is created by, humans. Peace is a product of a perfect universe. Who do we think we are disrupting a perfect universe?
Mindful of today, creates the future
