What songs do you want to hear for today's coffee break?
MPR Graphic / Tracy Kompelien

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, we're inspired by today's Member Drive thank-you gift, a Minnesota State Parks pass.

Speaking of which, today is the first day of our Winter Member Drive, but we're dreaming of warmer days ahead. Give today and get our first day special — a Minnesota State Parks Pass and limited edition MPR bandana. Support the music you love for just $10/mo and get this special combo, today only!

So we'd like to know, what songs would you like to hear that mention "park" or "parks" or describe the great outdoors?
