Date men from Canada / Ontario / Port Hope, 54 year old

Date single man from Port Hope, Canada. I was raised in downtown Toronto and have a visual arts education majoring in sculpture and did an additional year of study in Italy learning traditional stone carving. I make my living from playing and teaching music.
I do maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay fit. I have the luxury of working from home most of the time, occasionally taking breaks to get out in the garden, go for a run, see a friend or visit family; also occasionally doing minor renos on my more than century old home.
You don't have to work in the arts (that would be a huge bonus) but at least have an interest. I'm hoping to find that elusive connection that of course can only be discovered by meeting in person hopefully to share play, romance, team work, and the mysteries and wonder of this life; friendship first as a foundation - one that hopefully blossoms into a mature, loving connection. There is no rhyme or reason to make sense of what makes two people click: we could have quite different interests and backgrounds but get along beautifully!
If any of this appeals to you, I would love to hear from you.

Talking briefly on the phone is a good option before meeting up for the first time - and only then decide if we want to go out on a real date!
