In His Own Words
About him
Hi, and thanks for looking in on my profile. I hope you find things to like here. Main profile picture spring 2024.
I've been a professional musician, conducted choirs, written music and still do a lot of arranging of music. My photos are recent, within the last three years. I do look like my pictures ..... :-)
Over the years I've lived and worked in many places. Sicily, Shetland, Norway and Sweden as well as the UK. I lived in Norway between 1985 and 2018, so have extensive experience of Scandinavia. Anyway, at the moment, I'm in a house which at least is warm and spacious and a little south of Glasgow.
I'm grounded, aware of the past but with an eye to the future although I live very much in the present. Open to new ideas, new experiences, I try to be open minded about life and others.
About his ideal match
This isn't easy to define, people are so different. Here are some qualities I'd like:
Caring, thoughtful, bright, reliable, imaginative, genuine, warm, attractive and outgoing. A sense of decency and fair-play is important, as is kindliness and reliability. Mutual attraction is important for me, as I'm sure it is for you.
Why not drop me a note? I always reply. :-)
