Thanksgiving Left-overs, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you that once again, we have an encore presentation of Come by the Hills for you this week. This time, it's a repeat of last year's live show celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving from October 9, 2021. We've got lots of John Barleycorn for you, songs about being thankful, and a whole lot more. I'm doing this because I have the rare ability to attend thanksgiving meals this year with both sections of my family, and I can't wait! Also, this week has been more than a bit hectic with various things happening around here.

Wednesday on Sara Smiles, Honouring the Life and Legacy of Loretta Lynn!

Today, we lost a true treasure of Country music in Loretta Lynn. With a career spanning many decades and a talent for telling complicated stories in a simple and relatable way, she was the undisputed Queen of Country. So, on Sara Smiles for two entire hours, on Wednesday, October 5, I'll be honouring her life and work with songs and stories about her life and also her impact on my own life. As I grew up in a primarily Country-influenced household, Loretta's music simply became a part of my DNA.
