This week was full of listener suggestions. Thanks for being, not just great song generators, but amazing idea brainstormers too. We're going to wrap up the week with another recent theme submission. Listener Gray wrote, "I was listening to the Volcano Choir album, and the organ intro on 'Tiderays' for whatever reason had me prepared to hear Prince say, 'Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...' Anyway, though, I'm sure there are plenty of other songs across genres that have organ (or synthesizer organ) introductions before the song launches. What do you think of an entire coffee break of songs with organ introductions?"

We think that sounds like a great idea, thanks Gray. Let's put together a set of songs with organ intros for the 9:30 Coffee Break.

Just a little over a week left to enter to win the Coffee Break on the Road. If you want Jill and Steve to bring Charlie Parr and coffee and treats from JJ's Coffee and Wine Bistro to your work, just email and let them know why you deserve a break: CoffeeBreak@theCurrent.org
