Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's upcoming episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM! We've got a whole bunch of songs from Scotland in honour of St. Andrew's Day, which is coming up on November 30. Also, we're beginning to ring in the festive season with a half hour or so of holiday tunes in honour of the launch of voting for our annual Holiday Countdown and Christmas Party! Votes are now open, and the countdown will take place live on Mushroom FM on Saturday, December 17, 2022, from 7:00 AM Eastern to 5:00 PM Eastern.

I don't know about you, but at this stage of 2022, I think many of us are feeling, "what a year!" The pandemic rages on, there's war in Europe, the Queen died and Elon Musk bought Twitter! I think we need to bring on some Christmas cheer, right now. Once again, Mushroom Fm is here to do exactly that with our holiday countdown and party.

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
I continue the listener-suggested theme, songs about pleasant places this week. The music will span 31 years from 1960-91. I'll finish this theme next week.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described Movies the Best Man Holiday from 2013, and Office Christmas Party from 2016.
The Best Man Holiday is a 2013 American comedy-drama film written, co-produced and directed by Malcolm D. Lee.

What’s happening?

That seemed an appropriate heading to start this post given the subject matter.

We reach back into the vault again this week to late 2020 and enjoy the awesome talents of Carly Simon. We meet Jesse, haven't got time for the pain, and learn that you're so vain.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, and 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia. It's easy! Speak to that SmartSpeaker of yours with the words play Mushroom FM, and it will have you there momentarily.

If you’re “hep to the jive” and can “dig the scene,” then you’re in for a treat on this afternoon’s “Juke In The Back.” Matt The Cat presents Cab Calloway: the “Father of R&B,” the “Grandfather of Rock n’ Roll” and the “Hi De Ho Man.”

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know what's happening on today's very imminent episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show here on Mushroom FM! First, it's a voicetracked show this week, but there's no shortage of great music for you to enjoy. We've got a really neat song by Roy Bailey which I've not played before on the show, a really cool version of Barbara Alan, some Me Music, and much, much more!
