I am a music lover! I admire people who can play the piano and sing at the same time. I am learning to play the piano and hope to walk in their shoes one day. I bought a guitar in Cali last summer.I don't know what I'm doing with it, but one day... I prefer live entertainment, such as concerts and plays. However, I also enjoy relaxing in the comfort of my home to watch a good movie or sporting event.
I'd like to meet:
People who enjoy life and laughter.
I love meeting fellow music lovers and great people:
