What made the music sexy is difficult to put into words.  It's a physical
reaction to an auditory stimulus, perhaps from the primitive Limbic section
of the brain.  The pieces I found thus stimulating tended to be the slower,
more meditative pieces, with meandering melody lines over a droning bass,
long enough to develop and sustain a mood.  How's that?

And the comment about my husband?  I was lucky enough to be sitting with
him, and not alone, so that I felt happy, rather than lonely for him.  He's
a chef and works most nights, so any day off he has is a celebration for me
and our 4-year-old angel.
