    		This might be a bit of a strech but, Aaron Copland?

    Mr. Copland was once described as a "tall, rather loosely knit man, who surveys the scene through plain spectacles with clear blue eyes." His manner was called "simple, unassuming and urbane." A lifelong bachelor, he lived for many years in the Empire Hotel near what is now Lincoln Center before moving to a modest house in Westchester County.
