We recently did a Coffee Break with Texas bands in honor of Houston and Hurricane Harvey, and now it's time to feature Florida as it endures Tropical Storm Irma.

Irma is currently weakened but still dangerous with near-hurricane force winds, floodwaters and generally rough conditions hammering Florida, and is expected to head towards parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee next.

For today's Coffee Break, what songs that mention any part of Florida do you want to hear?
