Coffee Break: Standing Ovation!

October 10, 2024

There are lots of ways to show gratitude for something you love. It could be as simple as saying “thank you” or giving a round of applause. When it comes to The Current, one of the easiest and best ways to show appreciation for the station is to become a member.
The Fall Member Drive doesn’t end until tomorrow, so there is still plenty of time to support the station. Even better, the first 200 donations of the day will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the MPR Member Fund — making your gift go twice as far!
The Current adds to the soundtrack of our days, creates musical connections, supports a thriving Minnesota music scene, and gives us so much to be thankful for. Today, let’s also show appreciation for this public service with music!
So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs with applause or clapping would you like to hear?
