Valentine's Day Songs Just for You

After taking a poll, two of you said to keep the music. I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do so I gave Horse Pucky a tuneless three days to see what it would be like. Three days with no tunes made me feel naked; so I'm keeping the music.

Here are five Valentine songs just for you. Three are unconventional, but fun and a tad off the wall, but they work for Valentine's Day. Diana Krall is my favorite female jazz vocalist, so she's  listed singing two romantic songs. Enjoy!

At the very bottom of the blog posts, in the center, is a playlist. You can mute it, choose whatever song you like, or adjust the volume on your computer. Enjoy the music with a glass of merlot or a great cup of coffee and have fun. Hugs. ~Pam

Valentine Question

This morning, Jon asked me what I wanted for Valentine's Day. I suggested, "Something sparkly." He smiled that handsome smile of his and said, "Oh great, I'll buy you a bottle of sparklng ginger ale."

I guess, with some men, women have to be VERY specific.

Good Grief Valentine!

How in the world did the romantic version of St. Valentine's Day come to pass when St. Valentine, a Roman priest, was beaten to death with clubs and stones and then beheaded just because he married Christian couples? All because helping Christians in 496 A.D. was a crime. Good grief! Where's the romance there?

I guess Hallmark changed everything in the 20th century or maybe it was Chaucer in the 14th century. In either case, being beheaded puts a whole new twist on things and certainly gives special meaning to the song, "Losing My Head Over You".
