If music be the food of love, play on, a guy named William once wrote; a fellow named Marcus once said the sexual embrace can only be compared with music. A score (more or less) of erotica's best prose stylists write about that sexual embrace�about passionate memories inspired by a song, about lust fueled by a drummer's muscular forearms or a cocky singer's tight jeans. These sizzling stories with a musical soul, edited by Lambda Award-winning editor and book critic Richard Labonte, are the soundtrack of gay sexual adventure, from rock 'n roll that stirs the soul to opera that heats the blood�and every musical beat in between... the very food of hot, rhythmic reading.
