Party Music

Last summer, I posted a dance party playlist that had been evolving for a number of years. It continues to evolve. But tomorrow night, I am having a non-dance party. Well, I can't really make any promises. If too many alcoholic beverages are consumed, you never know what could happen. BUT I'm not planning on it. This is more of a chill, happy hour sort of party. Just because it's not dance music, though, doesn't mean I want boring music. Sure most of it will go unnoticed, but song-picking is what I like to do... So I used this as a chance to make a 3+ hour playlist that is a mix between upbeat stuff I might play at the start of a dance party and my usual radio playlist. I miss my radio shows, so making this list was fulfilling in some ways.

I decided to post the playlist since I can't pass on my music choices via radio anymore.
