...Musical Setting of the Eucharist, performed in May at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral, Pianist Vince Guaraldi took Anglican plain chant as his starting point. The flowing Gregorian tunes were chanted by a 68-member chorus while Guaraldi improvised back of it with his trio, shifting the mood with the spirit of the prayer. "Lord, Have Mercy" is crisp and plaintive, with a syncopated Latin rhythm; the Communion anthem is a waltzlike blues with a flowing melodic line. The "Theme for Grace" at the Offertory, with a chorus crooning the syllables of "hallelujah," reminded some listeners of mood-setting...

A holding of seven hearts or more could be indicated simply...
...Hotel, some of Manhattan's highest society wiggled around the dance floor doing the mule, flapping their hands like mules' ears to the thudding beat of Lester Lanin's orchestra. "It's good for your health," says Lanin, who beefs up his society band with a rock 'n' roll trio called the Rocking Chairs...
