No Matter What - Happy Hour

Happy Hour Pt. 2 - No Matter What. This is part two of a multi-part series of fun happy hour music with a garage rock feel. This second hour of the night is decidedly more power pop and not quite as raw as the first set. It just sort of flowed that way and like before the music comes from several decades. Lots of classics and lots of personal favorites because after all it's my happy hour.  The title of the mix comes from both the opening and closing songs.

Part 3 is in progress.
