The snow continues to fall out of the sky and driving conditions on the road aren't too great. In fact, you might be thinking about putting chains on your tires. Listener Loran had chains on his mind when he made his request for the Coffee Break theme. He suggested "chain" songs for a wintery Coffee Break.

Sound like a good idea Loran. What songs that feature the word "chain" in the title or prominently in the lyrics should we play for today's 9:30 Coffee Break?
