We are welcoming Adam Weiner of Low Cut Connie on the airwaves today just after 9, and he is excited to play The Current's 17th anniversary party on January 22 at First Avenue. In his chat with Jill he said, “I feel even though there are still challenges, even though everybody's got to wear a mask, even though we’ve gotta go through all the hoops to stay safe, once we’re in the room, once the lights are on and the downbeat comes down, it’s gonna be unbelievable. It’s gonna be ferocious.”

One of the many highlights of Jill’s conversation with him was when he leaned slightly to his right and one-handedly played “Thank You For Being A Friend” on the piano nearest to him.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what piano-driven songs do you want to hear?
