The Mid-Century Rhythm Runs Through Hollywood — Grove's Orbit Never Came Home to Play

Little Bird Suite session record; Famous People

The town's one national music line left in 1954 and worked in studios. Dick Grove's career after Lakeville is a California record — arranging, the rehearsal orchestra behind Little Bird Suite, session work around Alvino Rey, Paul Horn, Buddy Rich, and Nancy Wilson — printed at full size in Famous People. For this section the fact that matters is the negative inside it: no Grove performance, session, or dance date in Lakeville or Union Township appears in any record reached, and the town's mid-century dancing was done to other bands in the school gym and the Legion hall. The leg's rhythm line is therefore an exported one: the town produced the arranger; the music was made elsewhere; the birth line in Feather's notes is the whole of the home connection, printed at exactly that size.
