Kat, you might appreciate this quote from Douglas Adams' "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish," in a scene where Arthur and Fenchurch are, uhm, on the brink of getting together, and Adams has just been commenting on the aphrodisiac qualities of Dire Straits:

"Mark Knopfler has an extraordinary ability to make a Schecter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a stiff beer--which is not strictly relevant at this point since the record hadn't yet got to that bit, but there will be too much else going on when it does, and furthermore the chronicler does not intend to sit here with a track list and a stopwatch, so it seems best to mention it now while things are still moving slowly."

For me, it's Emmylou's "Wrecking Ball" or Loreena's "the mask and mirror" (although her "Book of Secrets" will do in a pinch, 'specially on "Mummer's Dance")....

DO NOT try it to "cock of the North"!!!.. or if you want .... try it to "Cock of the North" but try not to go with the rhythm of the tune..... lol

if we're into classical stuff....I like Barber's "Adagio for strings"...... great climax in that one......

For the classical fans, you might try Tschaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. My college roommate once pointed out that when you listen to it, you almost feel like a voyeur. Well, auditeur, I suppose....

But as for me, I find myself leaning towards Elvis and Simon & Garfunkel (as in, "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" and "I am a Rock"...sigh...)

Hmm . . . I find music distracting. It imposes its own rhythms, and builds to crescendos in its own time instead of in ours. I don't want big, loud music during a quiet moment, or a lethargic soundtrack to frenzied activity. Besides, the sounds of lovemaking are almost as important as the smells. I wouldn't want to drown anything out.

I remember reading, when I was about fifteen, an interview with one of those "legendary lovers", (like George Simenon or Hugh Hefner, can't remember his name) and he claimed that the one piece of music guaranteed to drive a woman wild with desire was Artie Shaw's version of "Begin the Beguine".

I cannot vouch personally for the veracity of this claim. From personal experience, however, Tony McManus' first solo CD has never been known to fail................

For us it is soft instrumentals - maybe some nice classical guitar or piano music. Words can be a bit of a distraction when you just want to be in the moment.

Al Green's Let's Stay Together, I'll second the Moondance LP but avoid The Gentle Side of John Coltrane unless thouroghly familiar with it as McCoy Tyners'intros are so brilliant they're distracting. Found that out the hard way (actually,the soft way). Also Bill Evans first LP with Waltz for Debbie on it.

Someone asked about songs you sing or hum? Well, I can tell you a very funny story on Bride Judy and I. Early on, in our courtin' days, I once broke into Gene Autries "Back In The Saddle, Again." Well, she started laughing, then I started laughing, then we both kept laughing! I don't sing that song anymore! CHEERS, Bob

Ohhh... I get it. Well, strictly speaking, this thread probably doesn't apply to me right now, either. I think we're supposed to use our imaginations. I think I still have one of those.

But have fun with your instrument. I'm sure you'll both have a great time! (I'll have to wait for spring myself. I can't use the gasoline powered riding d*ldo Spaw invented for me until the grass starts growing around here again.)

Carol, now you're making me look at pictures and birthdays! I did discover that Big Mick said he was born in 1956, which I believe is untrue. Jeez - I didn't know guys lied about their ages!

Mark, I'm older than you, so you can just quit calling yourself an "oldie" or I'll have to come down there and spank you...

Subject: RE: BS: Bonking To The Oldies
From: CarolC
Date: 02 Jan 02 - 01:07 AM

Nice try, Mark. I just checked the birthdays page. You're only two years (minus ten days) older than me. And I'm not old. So you can't be, either.

And I just found out that Big Mick and I are only seven days apart.

"Hoochie Coochie Man" by Muddy Waters. Great stop time riff. Also "Honey Bee". The whole old "Best of Muddy Waters" album
"Smokestack Lightning" by Howling Wolf, and the whole rest of the Wolf's 'Rocking Chair' album
Also, I have fond memories of the demure innocent-looking willowy blond who liked The Doors turned up REAL loud. "You're Lost Little Girl....", "Strange Days", "Yeah, I'm your Back Door Man!"
John Lee Hooker from the VJ period: "Dimples", "Boom, Boom, Boom", "Big Legs, tight skirt, just about to drive me out of my mind." One girl friend liked me to chase her around the house to that. "Crawlin' Kingsnake"
Slim Harpo: "Strange Love" warming up to "I want you to be my Ti-Na-Nee-Na-Ni."
Everything by Clarence Carter. "Strokin'"

A little something by Ralph Vaughan Williams, perhaps. I think I mentioned in a thread a while back that this composer really understands musical forplay. I think his stuff qualifies as oldies by some standards.

The Rightous Brothers would be my choice. A carefull mix of their ballads and the maybe The Moody Blues, Nights in White Satin. I'd also go for Procol Harums first album. And maybe Sam Cooke with a ballad mix. It all depends on the Muse tho'. Whatever strikes whoever's fancy is fine with me.
