Sara Hillis here a bit early this week to tell you about a very special episode of Come by the Hills I'm planning for this Sunday. As well as spinning the usual great Celtic and Folk tunes from my collection, I'm going to put on my musician's hat, (and a lovely hat it is too, all full of fringes and bells and such!), to play some live acoustic music for you in a virtual house concert. if it works well, it may become a regular thing. How often do you get the chance to hear live harp music in the comfort of your own 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.

Due to hardware failure at their end, the Treasure Island Oldies team have so far not been able to get their show to us for airing.

If it becomes available before show time, 5 Pm Eastern, we'll do all we can to ensure it airs. If not, please accept our apologies. We expect to be able to air it in the usual replay slot, Saturday at 7 AM Eastern.

In the event of no show, the Mushroom Pot will keep you entertained with some great music.

Sara Hillis here chiming in once again to say that at last, of all the days of the year, the day when everyone pretends to be a wee bit Irish is almost upon us! As St. patrick's Day will be on Tuesday, what else can Mushroom FM's premier Celtic music show do except celebrate it two days early with lots of lovely Irish-themed music and stories, and of course the banter! oh the banter!

And after The Mosen Explosion comes to an end this afternoon, join me for The Early Years where 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.
It's another all-new show of "jaw-dropping Songs" this week.

Here we go with more fun with the space time continuum. The clocks have gone forward in the USA, but they have not gone forward in some other parts of the world. This means the show may start an hour earlier for you. For example, while we still rock the world at 2 PM Eastern time, it will start at 6 PM in the UK, and 7 AM in New Zealand. Oh boy I had better set my alarm an hour earlier!

From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 7pm Saturday in NZ, 5pm in Sydney and 6am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movie On the Waterfront from 1954.
On the Waterfront is a 1954 American crime drama film, directed by Elia Kazan and written by Budd Schulberg.
It stars Marlon Brando and features Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, Pat Henning, and Eva Marie Saint in her film debut.

Steve Joins the Snowman this saturday, and we meet Betty, The artificially inseminated OmniSuspicient answer lady. Never at a loss for words, she has an answer for every question you could possibly ask her. Whether it is relevant, or germaine, is another question altogether. But, in any event, her answers are surprisingly testy and off target. She is a hoot. Worse yet, she has the hots for steve, and he thinks it's allright. Come spy on him, saturday evenign starting at 8PM eastern.
