One of my favourite musical theatre songs that we play during lots of social functions is My Funny Valentine from Babes in Arms. With music by Richard Rodgers and Lyrics by Lorenz Hart I absolutely love the opportunity to play this beautiful tune in the outstanding string quartet arrangement by Bill Thorpe. Having been a Valentine’s Day bride in 2009, I took the opportunity during my pre-reception drinks to join my fellow Lochrians and play this in honour of my wonderful husband. How better to sum up the way I feel about him than Hart’s fabulous line: ‘You make me smile with my heart’.
