This morning we received an email from Trish, a listener in Elk River, Minn. Trish writes, "As I was driving to work, I observed this phenomenon (actually one of my favorite things about driving in the rain) where as you pass under a bridge, there is a brief pause in the rain; I realized that some of my favorite songs use a musical pause to great effect. Maybe songs that use a musical pause might make a fun coffee break?"

Thanks for the idea this morning, Trish! Let's explore this idea.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that use a pause (or rest) to great effect? Send us your requests.
