Most of my happiest times have been spent playing music(drums)and being with friends, most of which just happen to be musicians. At this time in my life I'm searching for that soul-mate that has seemed to elude me most of my life, but I'm a patient soul. Some years back I Bought a small cottage on the banks of a beautiful river that needed total renovation and patiently restored it for 9 years, one room at a time from top to bottom one weekend at a time with a long time carpenter friend. The only thing missing is that special someone to share it with. I free-lance on a digital-media team shooting commercials for a high-end car manufacturer.It's the most rewarding work I've ever done. My taste in music is simple:if it rocks I love it. If it raps I can't stand it. I like country-western but only in small doses. I'm looking for a woman who is earthy,remembers Woodstock and the years following as a pleasant memory,who's loving,honest,loyal,compassionate and communicative.Too many women I've met seemed to believe I had the power to read minds-and though I've tried, it's something I just never got the hang of. Just talk to me! Works so much better for me. I love to smile and laugh and treat a woman the way I hope to be treated. A 50/50 partnership that just goes on and on.

On a first date, probably lunch at a nice pub or casual eatery, with a nice glass of wine. Super-fancy is a distraction when you are exploring compatability. There will be plenty of time for fancy if the connection is there.
