Date men and women from United States / California / Del Dios, 71 year old

Date a soulmate from Del Dios, United States. Basics:
I'm from Michigan originally, live in southern California now. I'm a longtime singer, songwriter and guitar player, a good performer and very good writer, in the “Americana”, blues, country, and folk genres. I've also done a lot of other things to support my family and/or my musical habit when it doesn't pay. I'm good-looking, look younger than most men my age, and very intelligent. I wish that stuff impressed that fool in the mirror when I'm shaving but it doesn't, so it doesn’t have to impress you much either. Being a loving soul is what counts. I am serious enough about online dating to be a member of another site where senior people meet.
Music is called playing, and it's true. Who wants to listen to somebody work? From a kid singing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to an orchestra doing Beethoven's 9th, you can't "work" music and make it sound good at the same time. Any fool can tell it's got no soul that way. It takes some effort to get good at making the stuff, sure, but the skills are all about being better able to play. Music is my favorite sandbox, words, melodies and guitars are my favorite toys, it's even more fun with friends than alone, and when it all comes together really right it's paradise. So music is how I know it's true that "Unless ye become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. . ."
Getting paid to play beats getting paid to work, but I make music because I love it. So I make it as beautiful as I can, in hopes that other people will love it too. Beauty is what us human beings love, ya know. It's what we're always looking for, in everything from a pebble in a stream to our fellow human spirits to God Himself/Herself-- Creator is both, and more. (Truth be told, my God is the Goddess more often than not, and I suspect that's true of most men.)
While we're on the subject, love is why Creator does creation-- He/She's the ultimate Artist at work, which is why it's so endlessly and amazingly beautiful-- and also why there will always be a mystery to it. Face it-- if love is the reason, it'll never be completely reasonable. . . If you don’t believe me, just think of some of the crazy things you've done in its name.
Be that as it may, Mother Earth and Father Sky are the Two-Who-are-One-Being, and we're its children, so we just naturally want to be one like that with somebody too. Some lines from a song:
"I love Mother Nature, and her wonders that I see
And I have loved some ladies, 'cause they looked like her to me."
I guess that's the long way around to saying when there's a woman in my life, there's only one.
And I guess that's a natural lead-in to the "what am I looking for" part. Ummm. . .
Good looks will get my attention-- "striking" looks will grab it-- but what will hold it is that magical inner radiance called attractiveness, and it doesn't always come in a fancy wrapper.
So the wish list is, I'm looking for is a woman who, among other things:
(a) is about my age or within say 10 years younger,
(b) has a good, strong voice and preferably plays an instrument,
(c) attracts me like a moth to a candle,
(d) has a head and heart of her own,
(e) understands what I said in her own way,
(f) will talk with-- or back to-- me as needed, and
(g) can cook.
It doesn't have to be "gourmet". It's just that I've done enough of my own cooking that if you'll fix dinner, you're gonna have to burn it really bad before I won’t eat it, and I'll help with the dishes too.
I'm sure there's a needle kind of like that somewhere in the world's haystack. I sincerely don't want to find it sharp end first, but I do understand that the woman I'm looking for will have one-- and I'll admit that there are times when that's what it takes to get my attention. What can I say? I'll always be at least that much of a man. :-)
