Hadda Brooks is one of the most talented boogie woogie musicians of all-time, yet her name doesn't come up nearly as often as Pete Johnson, Champion Jack Dupree or Professor Longhair. That's a shame!
This week on Deep Dive we hear about the first of our 2023 shows, and we're excited. We begin the year with excellent Australian songwriter and performer Peter Allen. We hear the story of the Tenterfield Saddler, still, call Australia home, and are just a gigolo.
Tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia. It's easy! Just march up to your SmartSpeaker of choice and demand that it plays Mushroom FM and it will take you to the home of the Fun Guys in the blink of an eye.
Kia ora from new Zealand.
It’s that time of year again. 6 February is Waitangi Day, New Zealand’s national day and a public holiday here. As is often our custom, Anthony Horvath and I will be live in the studio at Mosen towers playing three hours of classic New Zealand music, and perhaps we’ll throw in a little comedy as well.
After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, 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 first forty years with nods to other decades and genres.
After a 2-song tribute remembering "the day the music died" 64 years ago today, niether song by any of the artists who died that day, I'll continue a unique survey of 50 tracks: The Canadian Edition begun Three weeks ago.

There are so many forgotten legends along Rhythm & Blues' evolutionary highway. This week, the "Juke In The Back" looks at the great Smiley Lewis, another influential force out of New Orleans that time has chosen to forget.
Here in Australia, the weather is still hot, with thunderstorms and all the other signs of summer. And, due to the special repeat of our Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young programme last week, we still have one encore programme left in our summer series which will play next week.
It's our Deep Dive birthday edition from last May, where Chief Fun Guy Jonathan Mosen joins the programme and chooses his favourite Beatles songs, and what great choices he makes.
After you've enjoyed the return of Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join Jonathan Mosen for a very special edition of The Early Years.
G'day everyone.
After a good long rest over the summer break, I'm really looking forward to being back with you live on Mushroom FM. This week in Australia, we celebrate Australia Day, so in honour of that, this week's show features all Australian artists. There's also a tasty new breakfast recipe that I've been trying this week, and I have lots to tell you about from our recent camping trip, including some new gadgets I was given over the break.
