Stuck In Thee Garage #127: April 22, 2016

Most of us have to go to work every day to bring home the proverbial bacon and/or cash money. While this isn't always a fun thing, it's a necessary one. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs about occupations in hour 2. (Note: The show was already put together when news of Prince's death broke, so there's no mention of it here. Next week, though, it will be mentioned.)
