The study of ideas or things that are groovy, or very good in every area of life; groove – as in popular music groove, used in the sense of rhythm, is a term for meter and its embellishment by a rhythm section; an infectious feeling of rightness in the rhythm, of being perfectly centered in the pulse of a song and balanced with the way the instruments dynamically breathe with the music. Music is an analogy for life. Are you in the groove?
This video is my official entry in the Ford ‘Fiesta Movement’ contest. Ford is looking for 100 agents to test drive the new Fiesta for 6 months. The 100 winners will get FREE use of the Fiesta, plus gas and insurance for 6 months.
I filmed the video in Dearborn, Michigan on location at Henry Ford’s home, my home, Ford world headquarters and the Henry Ford Centenial Library (also in Dearborn). Various members of my family show up in the video.
Please repost this link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOkDx7NLaNo ) on your blog or Twitter it to all your friends. I need your help to create a lot of excitement with this video by March 23rd, 2009.
When I reach my goal (driving the Fiesta for 6 months and making more cool videos), I’ll be posting more fun, fun, fun, fun Fiesta videos on another new website I’ve created: FiestaFreedomRide.com

One of the most critically acclaimed musicians to date and a co-founder of rock super-group Traffic, singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Mason has finalized his most personal effort in years with the just announced release of a solo album, “26 Letters and 12 Notes” in October 2008.
The album has been six years in the making and was self-produced by Mason and recorded in his California home studio. A soulful blend of Mason’s rock and blues influences, the album contains 12 tracks all of which feature Mason’s singing and guitar handiwork. The title, 26 Letters and 12 Notes, refers to the number of letters in the alphabet and the number of notes involved in western music.
Mason feels a great sense of confidence in this album and calls it what he believes to be his best work yet.
“For me, I think it is probably one of the better albums I’ve ever done and I think I’m probably at the height of my vocal abilities right now.”
In 1967, English musician Dave Mason first found fame with the renowned rock group Traffic, the band with which he penned his classic hit “Feelin’ Alright.”
That was just the beginning of a musical journey that would span four decades and countless successes. Throughout his 40 year career, Mason has played with some of the most popular musicians of his era including Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Fleetwood Mac and Mama Cass Elliot. Mason is most well known for the hit single “Feelin’ Alright”, which he recorded with Traffic in 1968.
In 1969, Mason headed to the USA to embark upon a solo career which resulted in his increasing rise to stardom and the popular hits “Only You Know And I Know” And “We Just Disagree” along with “Every Woman,” from the platinum albums Alone Together and Let It Flow. Let It Flow, has gone multi-platinum in its time and “We Just Disagree,” which is featured on this album was a top-ten single.
Dave and his band, which consists of, Gerald Johnson (bass), John Sambataro (guitar), Alvino Bennett (drums) and Bill Mason (Keyboard), continue to travel and perform anywhere from 80-100 shows annually.
