Although we might not want to believe it — and it might not feel like it, yet — summer is indeed coming to a close. While the official end of the season coincides with the Autumn Equinox on September 22, the signs that fall is around the corner are all around.

The kids are gearing up (or already) back in school, and we are on the edge of Labor Day weekend. That makes it the perfect time to take a look back with music!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what favorite songs from this summer would you like to hear?
