Alec in front of a crackling fire snuggling with the woman of the month 😀
Straker has light rock or pop on his car radio, in one episode. I easily can picture him listening to light jazz (which I love too) of course he had Wagner on forest murmurs in Responsibility Seat.
All the music you mentioned even Iron Maiden, I like. Iron Maiden was on the radio of the car I got taken to college with. It had half its floor gone. That was a brief romance chuckle. And my first kiss and uh..other firsts to the music of Gordon Lightfoot. I later destroyed the record, so you can detect where that encounter went!

The guy I finally exchanged vows with has varied tastes in music. I introduced him to Tangerine Dream.
Alabama? I'm in Berkeley, its overcast, storm probably coming judging from pain on the reicher scale.
A scene can be as sexy as hell without a single graphic term. You're absolutely right about the imagination. I can write 'her hand traced his collarbone gently, lightly, taking pains not to cause him even one. She was no stranger when it came to that body, every sinew as arresting as those unforgettable eyes'
Not a rude word, but crystal clear, heh heh.
