Orpheus42, 81

I'm looking for that special someone who'll hold my hand and return my love for the rest of my life.

I'm intelligent, well-educated, have a sense of humor, love classical music - especially piano, opera, and choral (also like barbershop, dixieland, and other musical genres) - like to play bridge, sensitive, shy but passionate, and I'm a widower.
I enjoy reading and learning, a good puzzle, listening to what others have to say, and being close. I have loved and been loved deeply, and I dare to wish to do so again.

The woman I'm seeking has probably been deeply moved by music, or poetry, or a sunset, and probably shares some of my interests, plus others that I'll come to appreciate. Oh, yes - and she has to like my cats.

If I were a car, my description might read something like "classic 1942 redhead, well preserved with only minor flaws, only one prior owner who always treated him with loving care".

I took piano and sang in choir through high school, and then sang tenor in an oratorio group and concert choir as an undergrad. I met my late wife in concert choir. We both sang in the Johns Hopkins choir after moving to Maryland. I am now singing baritone in a barbershop chorus and looking for an SATB chorus to join where I would probably sing tenor unless they have too many tenors(like that'll happen).
