Trumpet Playing Singer

I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Hi...Where to start....Hmmm. How about with this. I am a guy that has been divorced for about 4 years. Only have one child and he does not live at home. I am looking for friends and more. I am not currently dating but would be interested in meeting someone to get to know and see where it goes. I have found that if you put too many limitations on what you want out of a person then you limit your opportunities to meet someone that could be truly fantastic. So I am very open minded about who I want to meet. I will tell you some of my interests and if I sound interesting then contact me. I love music. Most kinds except rap and heavy metal. I play trumpet as a hobby and sometimes I even get paid for it. I don't do it for the money though I have been told that I should. I play lead trumpet and conduct a 16 piece big band called the Overtones. We have been together now for close to 10 years. We play all over the Kansas City metro area and would love to have people come and check us out. I also have been playing 1st chair trumpet in an orchestra. However when our conductor recently decided to retire and move away the orchestra folded. So I am currently looking for other outlets to play in. I love movies and work for a major dvd rental company. So I get my fix all the time. I read a lot. Mostly science fiction and fantasy. I am also a comic book collector. I have an interest in learning about new things. The older I get the more I find that I don't know jack about this world. So I would love to meet people who have things to teach me about. I am a very uncomplicated person who just wants to find more in life than what I have now. So if I sound interesting then contact me. Haven't figured out how to add photos to this thing but I will add some when I get it figured out. But send me a message. I am always excited to meet new people.

My Interests

Jazz, trumpet playing, movies, dining out, reading, spending time with someone special (when I find her), museums, going to concerts and plays.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet different types of people. I am interested in friends as well as meeting someone to share my life with. For friendship I don't have any real expectations of the type of person I meet. For a relationship I have a few criteria but not many. First, I think it is important to find the other person attractive physically. I don't think I am being shallow in that respect. I think we all want that and anyone who says different may not be completely honest. But I also want to meet someone who likes at least some of the things I do. Someone who loves music is nearly required due to my playing schedule. Certain times of the year get pretty busy for me playing trumpet so patience and flexibility are great character traits. I don't know how I feel about having any more children. I'm not opposed to the idea but it's not a necessity for me either. If I meet the right person then I may feel the need to do that. So come and let me sweep you off your feet. Or you can sweep me off mine. Whichever. I just want to move forward with my life. So send me a message if you are interested. I would love to hear from you.

Music:

Jazz, pop, oldies, classical, some country, no rap or heavy metal.

Movies:

Comedy, Science fiction, Adventure, Romantic comedies, just a little bit of everything.

Television:

I like lots of different types of shows. I will list some of the ones I really enjoy. Heroes, Studio 60, Veronica Mars, Jericho, One Tree Hill, Boston Legal, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Desperate Housewives and I love football (pro and college) and college basketball

Books:

Science Fiction and fantasy. Loved Da Vinci Code and am reading Angels & Demons. Also reading the Anita Blake books. Also read comic books and collect them. Star Trek books are also a favorite of mine. Love the Amber series of books by Roger Zelazny. The Elric books by Michael Moorcock.

Heroes:

Don't have too many of those. Most I guess would be musicians that I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for. I am a big Maynard Ferguson fan. Love high note trumpet players in general.
