I'm a songwriter and professional musician who's currently not in a working band (but I AM looking for one!). I'm very open-minded - but not (as the saying goes) so open-minded that my brains fall out! I like to listen to all kinds of music (except opera and modern country) but particularly enjoy original rock n roll, 'old school' r&b, reggae and some jazz. I'll be putting some of my music out on the Web soon. I'm very intellectual - am an amateur astronomer and like to keep up with archaeology. To sum up: I'm quiet and introverted at first glance but am very passionate and engaging with my friends. I also have a well-developed, offbeat sense of humor (Jon Stewart, Mystery Science Theater 3K/Cinematic Titanic, etc.).

The lady I end up with must be intelligent, well-informed and a great conversational partner SOOOO....meeting at a coffee shop or Panera Bread, etc. would be nice so we could just talk and see how it feels.
