9:30 Coffee Break: Rainbow Connection

April 03, 2013

April is the month of rain showers, so it makes sense that April 3rd is National Find a Rainbow Day. No rain is in the forecast for Minnesota, so we might have a little trouble finding one. We thought we'd make it a little easier for all of use to find a rainbow today with help from the Coffee Break.

There are a surprising number of songs with the word "rainbow" in their titles. Give us your suggestions for rainbow songs and we'll play a couple of them for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Don't forget to enter to win coffee from Peace Coffee, treats from Birchwood Cafe, and Josh Ritter will be sticking around after his show at First Ave on April 25 to serenade you at your workplace. Let us know why you deserve a break at: CoffeeBreak@TheCurrent.org
