MUSICALLY - Wow, I have to try to be brief. Classical is always good - Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Bach, Elgar. Brilliant Violinists Farid Farjad and Itzak Perlman. The Beatles. Diana Krall. K.T Tunstall, Corinne Bailey Rae (Gotta love the British music scene). Lauryn Hill, India Arie, Pink (hilarious lyrics), Nichole Nordeman (inspiring lyrics). Bonnie Raitt. Natalie Grant. Joy Williams. Aretha Franklin. Sam Cooke. Billy Preston. Sade. My grandpa. Anything rhythmic with middeleastern drums, daf, tombak that just makes me want to move. SO many more....
ART - Mahmoud Farshchian, Georgia O'keefe, Monet....
LIFE - Mother Teresa for being an example of living your faith and being the hands and feet of Christ instead of simply using words. Anyone I've met who perseveres daily, has a good work ethic, knows people are what matters and makes the most of life. I'm blessed to know a good many like that :)

We'll change it up from slow acoustic medleys with violin to uptempo jazzy ballads to high energy pop.
