No, not the organs in your body. We are talking about the organ with a keyboard (or multiple keyboards). It's an instrument that gives a song a reverent full sound, and while it was used in rock more frequently in the 60s and 70s, it has had a resurgence in the last decade.

What are some of your favorite songs that feature an organ? Give us some of your suggestions and we'll play a couple for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Have you entered to win this month's Coffee Break on the Road? Why not? Josh Ritter is sticking around after his show at First Ave on April 25 to play at your work. Jill and Steve will also be on hand bringing Peace coffee and Birchwood Cafe treats. Enter at: CoffeeBreak@TheCurrent.org
