    I'd like ; _;mnustered by my sense of humor, by my nice,quiet kind of practical joke (FA!) ...she mustlike craw mixtures of clothingI like beads andsilk shirts, velvet vests and cordurov bell-bottoms.

    I want a girl to have fun with lift, too. To be freeenough to laugh at herself and all silly little mis-takes ... to laugh easily ... to play ... to grin atme when I'm taking myself too seriously (which Isometimes do).And I want a girl to love who's -in love with me!What's the matter with that? A girl who wants afamily, who isn't afraid lo link: responsibility forthe building of a solid home life. I want someonewho's natural in every waypersonality, hair,make-up, nothing lake or phony for me!

    I want a girl to be oasy-.miug, gentle and softbut to have ideas of her own. . . .She must want to travel as badly as I do, to ex-plore and be willing lo understand my moodsseri-ous, sad, happy, runnywhatever they are. Andshe must, above all. be sparklim/. alive, in love withlifeand me!

    That's the girl fiddle F.rigati would love to love!

    Even though 1 like to v.ateh people like SophiaLoren and Virna I.isi on movie screensmy girl,the girt I'd love to love, won't be like a movie starthat's for sure!

    She'll have to lie real, verv down-to-earth and,above all, intelligent and sensitive.

    I love to read and write and lals about what I'veread and writtenmy girl would like that, too.She should also enjoy music cot ai-tually play-ing or singing herselfbut just digging and lis-She should like small parries, like I do and not

Tht-h" music is obvi-ously the strongest tit' between them, andwith artists, that's exactly how it should be.If you've been lueky enough to attend a Doorsconcert, or have seen them on TV, maybeyou've noticed that they don't say muchnolong introductions to soup's, not even a per-sonal introduction. They don't extend them-selves to please an audience in the usualsugary, entertainer way. They just want toget up there and do their thingtheir bestand know (hat that will please you.
