After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.
1965 is the year in focus for the final time this week as I conclude my survey of songs that did not make the top 100 of 1965, which chart I finished seven weeks ago. I'll pick it up in November and finish the year.
This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the writing and singing talents of Jimmy Buffet. We eat cheese burger in paradise, come Monday, and hear about a brown-eyed girl.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is Tuesday morning in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is the evening in Eastern Australia. Simply ask that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there faster than you can make a margararita.
It's me again, Sara Hillis, popping in to tell you about the fast-approaching February 1st episode of Come by the Hills! This week, we'll be listening to a few protest songs, finally playing a long-delayed request, and of course including lots of great Folk and Celtic music as we go. I hope you can join me!
Catch the live broadcast of Come by the Hills on Sunday (today!) at 8:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. Enjoy, and remember to keep your dragons safe!

Hello from a cold and snowy Canada! Sara Hillis here with your latest Come by the Hills update!
