yes, such deeply evocative experiences ingrain themselves in our minds and memories and language!


does anyone know if the expression, originally from the jazz age IIRC, about grooving or groovy comes from the introduction of the early phonographs (hah!) or did it come from, er, something earlier? [unshocked]


(and thanks all for the evocative responses about books, old and new - yes, I think we can all relate to that one!)
