Hi Everyone.

It's great to be back after an enforced break caused by my computer suffering a major melt-down.
This weekend in Australia we have a federal election, so we'll be talking about some of our odd election traditions such as Democracy Sausages. I also have lots to share about my travels, and other things going on in the McMorrow household. In the last week, I found time to do some baking, and had a second go at Irish Mark's buttermilk scons, and this time, the recipe worked so I'll be able to share it with you.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Cast Away from 2000, and A Walk to Remember from 2002.
Cast Away is a 2000 American survival drama film directed and produced by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, and Nick Searcy.
Hanks plays a FedEx trouble shooter stranded on an uninhabited island after his plane crashes in the South Pacific, and the plot focuses on his desperate attempts to survive and return home.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
This week, the “Juke In The Back” pays our respects to one of the great record men of the 1940s and 50s; Art Rupe. Rupe passed away on April 15, 2022 at the age of 104! He started Juke Box Records in 1945, which would become Specialty Records in ’47 and go on to become one of the most important independent labels of Rhythm & Blues and early Rock n’ Roll.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the musical talents of Bobby Rydell. We sing Cherie, start Makin' time, and do the cha-cha-cha.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM eastern Australia.

Focus on one artist for one hour is what we do on deep dive, and it happens on mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys. Simply have a chance to your smart speaker, tell it to play mushroom FM, and you will be there in the blink of an eye.

Hello! Sara Hillis here again to let you in on what's coming up on this week's iminetly impending installment of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic Music show! We've got songs about coming and going in the first hour, a few songs about staying and leaving in the second hour, and songs about weddings, valleys, and a few songs from some of the "Rough Guide" albums along the way. So why not hang out with me for a few hours if you have the chance?

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.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described Movies Giant from 1956 and Rainbow Valley from 1935.
