'My Funny Valentine' is a jazz standard from way back. I don't recall
seeing it on any of the recent set lists, but Karen & Linford
might have done it at the New Year's Eve bash at the York St. Cafe in '96(I
think?). They played as a duo and intermixed
several older standards with thier own material. Very hip show now that I
think back on it. A lot of vocalists have done this
song, I suggest Chet Baker for my favorite.
