What songs do you want to hear for today's coffee break?

With the member drive complete (thank you for your support!) and a three-day weekend stretching out ahead of us, we thought it's time for some Friday fun for today's Coffee Break.

The idea got started as Sean McPherson was on the way to work this morning. Sean heard a song by an artist whose moniker includes the suffix, "Jr." That got us thinking about how many artists — and even bands — have the word "junior" in their names.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear by artists or bands whose names include the word "Junior" or the suffix "Jr."? Send us your requests.

Songs Played


Gary Clark Jr. "Ain't Messin' Round"
Jr. Walker and the All Stars "Shotgun"
Junior Boys "In the Morning"
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. "Simple Girl"
Junior Senior "Move Your Feet"
Ray Parker Jr. "Ghostbusters"
