A Letter from a Pen Pal
Dear Ann,
My name is Vince. I live in the eastern U.S. just outside Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. I’m 35 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weight about 190 pounds. I’ve never been married and have no children.
What attracted me to you was your interest in singing, dancing and especially music. Music is my life and I am fortunate enough to be able to make a living doing what I love. I have my own music production company. I do a number of diverse things and it can be pretty confusing to explain at times, but if you need any further explanations, feel free to ask. A producer is responsible for overseeing the creation of a product, in this case recordings. I am currently working on two active products and have several more in planning stages. On one project in addition to producing I also manage the artist, an up and coming female pop singer. Other projects may require me to be a composer, arranger, orchestrator or copyist. Another facet of my business is music engraving on a computer (Apple Macintosh). I’ve also taught several clinics on how to use the software programs that I use. I have a home studio for small recording projects and I do some consulting work for setting up home studios. I enjoy my work very much and I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue and achieve many goals and dreams. Outside of the studio I help out with the local high school band and choir as well as a youth summer theatre program sponsored by the community. We have a lot of talented people in this area and I love to work with kids and help them to discover how good they can be.
Since music is such a big part of my life it also is an interest of mine even when I’m not working. I have quite a large compact disc, tape and record collection and love to listen for enjoyment. I like theatre too. I usually work on two or three musical theatre projects a year and they are a lot of fun.
When I need to get away from work I look for warm weather and the water. I love to swim and I love the beach. Where I live is between an hour and a half to two hours away from the Atlantic Ocean. In the winter I can visit friends and family in Florida and friends in southern California. I’ve been to Disney World a lot especially since my uncle helped to build it. Locally I enjoy going to the movies or out for dinner or getting together with friends or family. Other interests I have (in no particular order) are: computers, animation, tennis, local sports teams, science fiction, barbecuing, photography, gardening, commercial aviation and the space program.
I don’t smoke or do drugs or drink. I keep myself in decent shape and I am definitely not a “couch potato”. I do have a great sense of humor, though, and keep an optimistic (though at times cynical) view of life. Upon meeting me, you might find me a bit shy at first, but I open up fairly quickly. I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. I’m very trusting and like to give and take my obligations seriously. I’m very cool-headed and believe in always keeping the lines of communication open. And lastly, I enjoy sharing life’s experiences with those close to me.
What do I want to know about you? More about your interests, your life, your views of the world in general. Your birthday, favorite style of dance, favorite song, favorite book, everything.
Sincerely,
Vince
