There was a post in another thread about a provider giving out CD's to clients. This got me wondering how much a role music plays during a session. I have had several experiences recently where the music the lady was playing carved itself into the whole experience. I was never a big Billie Holiday fan but I sure am now. Do any of you guys ever bring your own favorite CD's to play?

My first experience was with a woman who uses all of your senses.  She brings a small CD player with all types of music to allow setting an comfortable mood for each person.  That combined with the candles and her made an incredible impression; I still see her whenever I can even though I have to be very careful with her due to my size.

She kind of made it tougher on others I see now.  I don't expect all providers to provide the same experience.  I always try to help set some mood with music or candles when staying in hotels and have been told my place is set up better than most incall locations.

I have gotten some rather nasty comments from posts where the surroundings are described and I say the music and candles were provided by me.  One got fairly mad and wanted to know how I could expect her to provide music and candles when she came to my hotel; it didn't go over very well when I said that I got that expectation from previous experiences.

I mostly provide incall at my cozy bungalo.  I utilize all senses by lighting scented candles, providing soft music such as Sade, Diana Kroll, and yes, even Billie Holliday.  I even have a vintage vacumn tube amplifier.  I wear scented lotion and depending on the situation, providing food items - fruit, chocolate syrup, whip cream, wine.  I combine these items with sensuality, warmth, a gentle touch and softness to create a delicious eroticism for both my client and myself.

I had been thinking about whether to make a jaunt to Phoenix.  Now, I know one will be before too long and I will be touch; hopefully, a little eroticism will be in order.

Although it is very hard for me to bring my music and candles with me to the hotels here in Vegas...without carrying a suitcase with me...I do agree that music and lighting and scents can make a world of difference on a date.

When I tour I bring a player with cds of my favorite Celtic and Classical music. Altan, Rachmoninoff, Celtic Moods and even some Tony Bennet.

The beat of certain music can really set the pace of your intimate time and if programmed properly, the experience can be out of this world.

Dr.X is one of the few gents I have met that provides the lighting and music for our wonderful encounters. His taste in both is impeccable and it makes for a wonderful atmosphere.

I did have a gent one time burn a couple of cds for me with all kinds of different music on them. He said the songs reminded him of me...and then he pulled a couple of pictures off my site and made a cd labels.  

some guys are just too cool....

and have often thought of bringing Blues CDs.  But the mood would be rather more earthy (maybe even raunchy) in comparison to the sophistication of the above named chanteuses.  

Would this be offensive to ladies?  I suppose I should ask first, and try to get a feel for how she truly feels about it.  Could be tough to get a completely honest response, though, since she may want the date and feel that listening to music that she actually doesn't like is a small price to pay for the business.

Well, DrX, I'm what the doctor ordered....lots of sensual eroticism...see you soon..

Wow, what a mood setter!
Had the pleasure of an overnight with a very special lady recently. We met at a great location and it was my turn to handle the details. I purchased a small portable cd player (the type you can take with you to work out) and a pair of small computer speakers. All this fits great in your suitcase BTW, and the sound quality was amazing. I specifically bought the type that plays MP3 files and burned some of my (and our) favorites. Pulled music off the Internet, and added a few complete albums from my own collection. Cool thing is you can put almost 15 hours of music on one disc. No need to ever stop what you’re doing to change discs. Started the tunes around 8pm and listened throughout the night.
The music was definitely ONE of the most memorable elements of the evening…

Got to put Nora on your list if she’s not already on it…

I'm not one who is necessarily knowledgable about all the artists...just know when I hear something whether or not I like it.  But a burned CD that a lady recently brought & left as a gift is a compilation of 19 songs by Chante Moore--I'd never heard of her before, but IMO she's fantastic!!

When I was 22 YO I worked with this older but gorgeous married woman. One day she straight out asks me If I want to fuck, I of course say yes. This proceeded to a good couple of months. To this day, whenever I smell the perfume that I just have no idea what it was I get a raging hardon. After 6 years it still works, blows me away. -Joel

You might want to try some classical music some time. Scheherazade by Rimski Korsakov, Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky, Ma Vlast by Smetena, Beethoven's Symphony #6 The Pastoral or any other Beethoven such as the Moonlight Serenade, Rachmaninov's variations on a theme by Paganini also Borodin, Brahms, Chopin, Ravel, Mahler and Debussy are good choices. Pick your music carefully to create the mood and atmosphere that you and your companion desire and your experience can definitely be enhanced.

Good point. Who can forget Ravels' Bolero in the movie "10" when Dudley Moore is about to nail Bo Derrick?

Reiana Krall, Billie Holiday, Sade - all great choices, But I am also a Blues fan,

To the blues fan and others of course. I also am a blues fan and have thought about sharing some of what I have too. It would depend on the date. Maybe you wanna dance with her before gettin' down with some jump blues from Duke Ellington to Duke Robillard. You can burn some very late night after hours blues that could probably chill the bones of a provider who has never been exposed to it. Imagine the provider wanting you to hold her as close as possible while Buddy Guy does his version of "Fever" or Eddy Clearwater doing "Black Night - Falling Down Heavy." Just a thought.

I gave up on popular music a couple years ago and have since become passionate about jazz, having purchased about 300 titles in that time.  It's difficult for most people to know what to select with jazz (me included), but I found two that I can highly recommend to set a romantic, mellow mood.  Both of these are consistent throughout the disc in terms of tempo, which is rare.  These are also legitimate, good jazz (no Kenny G sh*t) and enjoyable in their own right.

1. Stanley Turrentine- "Ballads" (on Bluenote)
2. Chet Baker- "Chet" (on Riverside.  Buy the 20 Bit K2 version if you can)

Also, a couple people mentioned classical.  Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto is a masterpiece of romantisicm.  Worth getting to know even if it's not intended for it's seductive powers.  Rachmaninov's Variations on a Theme by Paganini (mentioned above) is a wonderful piece worth owning, but not my idea of mood music (a little too dynamic).

I also gave up on TER and am no longer posting, but couldn't resist offering these recommendations.   But as you can tell from my alias, this isn't really me.  Enjoy the music.

Hey, I'm glad a discussion of music lured you back in. Music is my favorite passion...well make that 2nd favorite passion (next to you know what)!
