Date single man from Los Altos, United States. You would find me to be friendly and unpretentious, with a sense of humor and genuine nature. I value traditional manners and politeness (really!). I like different kinds of music as long as it's got soul, with New Orleans flavored stuff probably my favorite. In that vein I've recently started playing drums again, which is good fun. My movie preference tends to be independent and foreign flicks, preferably on the big screen. I enjoy good conversation and feel I'm a good listener. Some of my favorite things are simple: Having a home that feels comfortable and warm (with lots of books and music), enjoying the company of friends and family while sharing a meal, being outside getting exercise, or rubbing elbows with the masses at an occasional sporting event. I like to travel (who doesn't?) when the time and means are available... Usually to warm places like Hawaii or the Southwest. I enjoy the performing arts, especially live music in clubs or a concert setting (and I've even been known to dance!). I'm interested in different kinds of music and artistic expression, as long as it's from the heart. If you sense some sort of connection from this brief introduction, perhaps we can meet for coffee and take it from there.
