Home. It's where we are (or should be) spending all of our time now, except for essential workers and for getting necessarily supplies and services.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's stay-at-home order, intended to slow the spread of COVID-19 across the state and tamp down its impacts, is set to last until Friday, April 10 at 5 p.m. but might get extended.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear about homes and houses?
