Who doesn't like a good story? And, country music lends itself so well to story-songs. So, on the show tomorrow, I'll be featuring story-songs. Some happy ones, some sad ones, and lots of in between. There's a top ten list of songs according to One Country, so I'll be playing those, along with the commentary that's included with each song. There's still time to get in your favorite story-song request too, so tweet me @Country_Oasis, or send me an email and I'll get it into the playlist.

Sara Hillis back to tell you that we've got a great bunch of music for you tonight on Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier (and one and only) Folk and Celtic music show. It's so great that I can't even tell you yet precisely what I'll be playing, except that we do have another teaser tune from Joni Mitchell's upcoming first box set of archives for you. She recorded this one for her Mom's birthday in 1965, and if you've read this carefully, you'll already know what it is. Suffice to say that it's one of my favourite Joni tunes ever!

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.

Don't forget to tune in tonight 11 PM US eastern for A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
As usual, I'll be bringing you the best music from the 4 dekades that you love, and talking about all sorts of things.
Ever heard of the South African group, Falling Mirror???

I put this one together a little bit different then all the others, so listen and enjoy.

Affter you've enjoyed Mosen At Large, Mushroom FM's premier tech magazine and opinion show, this afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, during which I hope all your questions get answered and all your opinions get aired, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me in The Early Years where and when you'll enjoy 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 2am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movie The 39 Steps from 1939.
The 39 Steps is a 1935 British thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll.
It is very loosely based on the 1915 adventure novel The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan.

Kia ora everyone. Time flies, mate, and now for me it is flying with the help of a shiny new Apple Watch Series 6. If you’re considering upgrading your Apple Watch, or perhaps you’ve been holding off buying your first Apple Watch but there’s now enough to tantalise you into looking at one seriously, I’ll play you my Apple Watch unboxing on the show this week. I’ll demonstrate how you safely back up an old Apple Watch in preparation for the big transfer, and then we’ll set up the new watch.
