Considering how this day affects most of us in the group, I thought about posting some tunes that might be comforting to us deprived souls on Valentine’s Day, such as the J. Geils Band’s “Love Stinks” or Good Charlotte’s “I Don’t Want Be in Love,” but I have to post a memory. Valentine’s Day was actually one of the better days with my wife, and we did have memorable love making sessions on that day. But my most unforgettable moment was one day when we were dating.
She and I were sitting on her living room floor, and she was wearing a teddy. She looked at me and sang “My Funny Valentine” in her absolutely gorgeous voice. I don’t think we made love that night, but her performance was worth it. How could I not marry her after that?
I am posting Ella Fitzgerald’s version here. In spite of all the advances in recording since those days of one-track recording, there are few records that compare to Ella singing this song.
Happy Valentine’s Day

That's a sweet memory, obobfla , thanks for sharing it with us. And that song always makes me cry for some reason. (((hugs))) Okay, I won't drag on and on. But I will share that my favorite "valentines" was 2015 - we were not yet married, (current husband) and we went on a road trip to catch Tesla in Michigan, a 9 hour drive for us. There is something about a long road trip, a seedy, horrible motel and good music that can bring a couple together. We didn't actually celebrate Valentine's Day. No cards. No flowers. No chocolate. Just the road, music and each other. That's all I ever want. (oh and really good sex that I am pretty sure everyone in the motel heard because the walls were paper thin) This is my Song FOR ALL OF YOU. (although it does have my favorite all time riff in the beginning). The rest of the song is for all of you, from me. Some random internet chick, but I am starting to care for you all as humans, and I will be a friend as much as I am allowed to be on this venue. To paraphrase: It's gonna take a little time to mend your broken hearts, but keep an open heart and you'll find love again. So look around, open your eyes, love will find it's way back to you. It will. I know.
