A couple of weeks ago we did a Coffee Break featuring songs that HAVE to be played back to back.

Today, we want to take a variation on that theme. We're looking for medleys - pieces of music composed from parts of existing pieces played one after another, sometimes overlapping.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what medleys do you want to hear?

We'll see how many we can cram into 30 minutes.
