Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn't have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.

Sir George Grove CB (13 August 1820 – 28 May 1900) was an English writer on music known as the founding editor of Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians. He contributed to the English literature on the subject including a concordance in 1854 and about a thousand pages of Sir William Smith's 1863 Bible Dictionary. Grove was trained as a civil engineer and successful in that profession but his love of music drew him into musical administration.
