Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know about the upcoming episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show. This week, I've got a great mix of Folk-type music for your enjoyment. I believe that music is medicine, and there are studies which seem to bear this idea out. So, in the spirit of finding healing and fighting against the darkness which seems to be closing in from every side lately, I hope we can come together for some good music and good fun.
