One More Rerun, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you that we will actually be replaying the Come by the Hills show from April 2, 2022 this weekend. I had promised you that one two weeks ago, but instead, I ended up playing the show from June 4 by mistake. I'm hopeful that this will be the final rerun in this covid-inspired series of encore presentations, but only time will tell. I am feeling mostly better, but I do have a lingering cough which still affects my voice at times.

Factual Correction to Previous Entry

Sara Hillis here again. I believe I mentioned that I had had four vaccinations for Covid in the entry I posted before. I have only had three. I don't know why I added the extra one. Fourth shots were only made available to my cohort in Ontario about a month ago.

From the Archives by Request, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello there! Sara Hillis here to tell you that I am still dealing with the craziness that is Covid, and I do not have the brain power or the bodily energy to attempt a live show this weekend. However, as luck would have it, I've had a request from a listener to replay the Stan Rogers episode we did in June, and I can't think of a better encore presentation to give you.

It's Another Encore Presentation, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello hello! Sara Hillis here with sad news to report, I won't be doing a new episode of Come by the Hills this weekend. I have caught Covid somehow, and it's messing with my energy levels and my voice. So, I've pulled a show from our archives from April 2 of this year. I'll also keep you posted as to Sara Smiles as Monday gets closer.

I'm doing alright, but hour to hour it's hard to know how I'm going to feel just now. So, thanks for your indulgence, and I hope not to be away too long.

Correction: Come by the Hills is BAck with a Virtual Birthday Party!

Hi there. Sara Hillis here to assure you that we are back this week with another live and in person edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and
Celtic music show! Not only are we going to be playing our usual mix of great music for three whole hours, but there's a new microphone to test out, and
we've got a very special birthday salute for a long-time listener. As I missed a request from him the other week by not checking my Facebook Messenger

Come by the Hills is Back with a Virtual Birthday Party!

Hi there. Sara Hillis here to assure you that we are back this week with another live and in person edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! Not only are we going to be playing our usual mix of great music for three whole hours, but there's a new microphone to test out, and we've got a very special birthday salute for a long-time listener. As I missed a request from him the other week by not checking my Facebook Messenger notifications, and as it's his birthday tomorrow, I figure he deserves three songs in a row!

It's Canada Day, Up Canada Way, this Week on Come by the Hills--Eh?

Hey there! Sara Hillis here to announce the annual Come by the Hills Canada Day extravaganza! It may be coming a day late, but it will not be a loony short, especially with me as the host. We'll have three hours of Canada-themed songs, songs by Canadian artists, and even a few of the "Canada Vignettes" produced by our National Film Board (yes, the other NFB) which were a staple of my childhood TV experience. Oh, and don't worry. There will be some stan Rogers! There's always room for Stan! So come celebrate Canada Day in song and story, this week on Come by the Hills!

We're back, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to assure you that Come by the Hills is back this week! Yes, after the celebrations of Paul McCartney's birthday last week, Folk and Celtic music is firmly back in its proper place on Mushroom FM! We've got a few long songs in honour of the longest day of the year which is just passed in the Northern Hemisphere, a few Buffy Sainte-Marie songs to honour the recently passed National Indigenous Peoples Day here in Canada, and a lot more great music besides! We've even got a few jugs of punch to wet your whistle, tin or otherwise.

It's the Annual Stan Rogers Celebration, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Yes, it's that time again on Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show, when we devote the whole three hours to the life and music of Stan Rogers, an amazing musician from Canada whose music is known around the world. We'll explore various themes in the music and even share some dramatic collaborations between Rogers and CBC Radio. We do this in June every year, because it was in June that Stan tragically died in a plane accident on his way home from a United States folk festival at the age of thirty-three.

Back on Track, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello hello! Sara Hillis here to assure you that we've got a live Come by the Hills this week! The 'lads and lasses--and dogs' playlist from two weeks ago has been waiting patiently to be played, so we'll be doing that this week, and then next week, we'll be doing our annual Stan Rogers tribute. It's good to know that things are back on track again.

Catch Come by the Hills live on Saturday at 2:00 PM eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, I hope you'll enjoy it!
