A Listener Becomes a Musician and Much, Much More, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis popping up again to let you know about this week's extremely-iminent edition of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM! I've got an eclectic mix of music this week, including a contribution made by a listener thanks to the Peter Yarrow tribute from last week. I finally got the link he sent me to work, and I now have a very cool tune to share with you! We'll also be hearing the musical commedy stylings of Lorne Elliott, a couple of songs in honour of the cold, and whatever else I (or you) feel like playing.

Jimmy Reed: 1953-59 this week on The Juke In The Back!

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.
Jimmy Reed was a hit-making blues machine back in the 1950s, yet he isn't as well remembered today as some of his contemporaries. This week, Matt The Cat and the "Juke In The Back" dedicate the entire program to this highly influential bluesman. Reed's mid-tempo shuffle was unique when first introduced in 1953 and has since become a part of Blues and Rock n' Roll DNA.

Deep Dive is where we focus on one artist for one hour. And it is heard exclusively on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

Remembering Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Last week, we lost one of the great apologists for peace and justice in the world, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Marry.

As always, requests are welcome, and if you have any memories you'd like to share about the music, you can email sara@mushroomfm.com. That way, I'll be sure to get your contributions.
