Often, when we get a great Coffee Break theme suggestion we just have to jump at it. While we have done false starts and endings before, it was a while back and we have too many good songs that pause to not cover it again. Thanks to Jim in Minneapolis, for today's suggestion "The Power of the Pause". Jim wrote, "There are many great songs that use a pause as part of the composition of a song. I'm talking about a gap in the music for drama or artistic purposes."

We're opening this one to the masses, thanks Jim. What songs do you want to hear the use the "Power of the Pause"?

Thanks to our Coffee Break sponsors Salty Tart, Peace Coffee, and our musical guest for this month Taj Raj.
