Favorite musician

Mike:   Music is a very important part of my life.  I love to sing and play guitar.  Ever since I was a little kid, I have always loved music.  I like many things from classical to hard rock.  I remember at the age of 4 singing in front of large groups of people.  Some of my favorite bands include the Police, Sting, Dave Matthews Band, Imagine Dragons, Owl City, Cold Play, Shiny Toy Guns, Peter Gabriel and Fall Out Boy.  I love classical chamber choir music such as Bruckner and Rachmaninoff.  I also love musicals like Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, Matilda and The Greatest Showman.  My favorite piano artists are David Lanz and George Winston.  I'm also a sucker for a good guitar rift whether it be electric or classical. 

Sharene:  I don't know that I have a favorite musician.  I love many kinds of music.  I really love piano music, especially The Piano Guys.  I had the chance to meet them recently and they are as kind as they portray.  I also really like U2, Imagine Dragons, The Police, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.  My two favorite musicals are Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera although I think The Greatest Showman has now crept into my favorite songs of all time.  Music is an essential part of my life.  I teach the primary children in my ward, play the organ, participate in the choir either singing or playing and teach piano lessons.  A lot of my life revolves around music.  When I was younger and was sad, I would sit down at the piano to play and sing.  It was a great stress relief and I always felt better afterward.  I think that is why it is so important to me that my kids learn to not only play the piano but love it.  It has blessed my life so much.  I also really love my husband's singing voice.  It is beautiful and pure and touching to listen to.  I keep asking him to sing to me every night to sleep.  I'm not sure why he doesn't.  😀
