A Time for Love’s Delight & Oh What a Night!
As you know, this article posts between the 5th & 10th of the month, so we’ll be ready shortly to give you insights into a month that urges our hearts to grow fonder with every day.
With our hearts on our sleeves, we’ll dive into February with a whole lotta love … as a teaser …
♪ February
Vintage Song of Note ♪
For those of us without a mate, it’s good to remember that Love comes in many
forms for a variety of people (and pets!) in our lives. Although this month’s
vintage Song of Note may be too distant for many 39ers, with a
simple substitution, “December
1963 (Oh What a Night)” can become any year or decade.
♪
…
Oh, what a night | Hypnotizing, mesmerizin' me | She was
everything I dreamed she'd be | Sweet surrender, what a night … ♪ It just so happened for the Four Seasons, to be a
sweetheart night in December 1963! And Love for one magic night is still Love …
or at very least, a bittersweet revelation.
The hit song for February 1976
was just getting started up the charts, with WTAC listeners placing it
by Valentine’s Day at #23 on their Flint, Michigan, survey. Four Seasons’
keyboardist, Bob Gaudio, originally started the tune with an even more
nostalgic year of 1933, though he hadn’t even been alive then. The other band
members reportedly weren’t thrilled with his lyrics, so he collaborated with
future wife, Judy Parker and she wrote the final version. Whatever night you
recall with it, “December 1963” ♪ … ended much too soon … ♪ Feel the love ... with more tuneful vintage trivia to manifest your memories and
keep the Rock Rockin’ from 50 Years Ago
this Month!
Speaking of soon ... the rest will be posted before ya know it. C'mon back and enjoy the month of Love with us!
Happy UN-Birthday 39ers ~ February 2026 ~ Love is Ageless!

NUTS & BOLTS: And dear readers, I just want you to know that I try my best to create an informative, aesthetically creative article for you each month. However, Blogger is not a professional hosting site—but they’re free through Google. So we’re stuck with their crummy platform that doesn’t work well to manipulate images with writing, especially if you aren’t a techie who knows HTML. Trust me, I’ve tried for years to write articles without gaps between paragraphs and even between sentences. Sigh. Maybe I’ll win the lottery and be able to afford a professional hosting site someday.
