Won't You Be My Valentine?
Saturday 9: Won't You Be My Valentine? (1961)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
2) Dore is better known as Herb Alpert. He used the name "Dore" early in his career because he thought it was more befitting a teen idol than "Herb." Who made you swoon when you were a teenager? Keifer Sutherland
3) Herb found he was a better trumpeter than singer. Between 1962 and 1969, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, had 12 consecutive gold albums. They were so popular that in 1966, they sold more records than Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Of those artists (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones), which is your favorite? The Beatles
4) He found his greatest success as an executive. Herb and partner Jerry Moss founded A&M Records and signed an array of talented artists including Cheech and Chong, The Carpenters, and Cat Stevens. Herb was happy to step away from performing and run the record label. Are you comfortable in front of an audience or crowd? Or would you prefer to be behind the scenes? I would much rather be behind the scenes.
5) Karen admitted that when The Carpenters were first signed by A&M, she had a crush on Herb and liked his aftershave lotion. Do you usually wear a fragrance? I wear lotion or body spray from Victoria's Secret. I wear Pure Seduction or Bare Vanilla.
This is our Valentine's Day Saturday 9 and so this morning we shall focus on the holiday.
6) The holiday is also known as The Feast of St. Valentine. Do you have a special meal planned for February 14? no, not yet
7) Thames River Cruises offers special dinner cruises for Valentine's Day that give lovers a view of London. Some cruises offer live jazz, others classical music. Which would you prefer: jazz or classical? It truly depends on my mood. I think I prefer listening to classical overall. We listen to soft jazz sometimes in my classroom before school starts.
8) Women buy and send more Valentines than men do. Who received the last greeting card you sent? I gave my kids Valentine's.
9) Men buy and send more roses at Valentine's Day than women do. What's your favorite flower? I like all flowers. One of my students gave me a bouquet of carnations and roses. They are beautiful.
Hi Lori, I think it is so nice that you gave the kids Valentines. I don't remember specifics, but I do have fond memories of passing out cards in class. I remember having to cut them out. I think that ended with grade school. How nice that your student gave you a bouquet of flowers. I like carnations too. Happy Valentine's Day!
