Hello again! Sara Hilis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills. We're live again this week, and we've got songs about the return of autumn to the Northern Hemisphere, songs about winds and rains in honour of Feona, now causing havoc to the east coast of Canada, and songs about that urge for going. There's even more than this of course, so I hope you can join me! If you can't do so because of the big storm, then please stay safe!

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.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. This time, I'll be paying tribute in song and story to my dear friend Shannon Smith, who passed away only a few weeks after her 40th birthday on September 16th, 2017. So, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of her death, I'll be sharing songs she enjoyed as well as a bit of her own voice. We've also got a request to fulfill, so it's an action-packed show this week.
