This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the excellent talent of US singer Whitney Houston. We ask where do broken hearts go, how will I know, and hear about the greatest love of all.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you that once again, I have an encore presentation for you on Come by the Hills. I'm unable to do a live show this week, so I thought I'd replay our tribute to Peter Yarrow which was originally broadcast on January 12th, 2025.

All the music except one song this week is from the first quarter century of rock as I will continue the theme I began May 7 on my return show, long songs. You'll hear songs from March 1967 to October 1968. This is part 4 of what will be many parts.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that it's time once again for our annual Stan Rogers show on Come by the Hills. Shows like this feel very relevant to many Canadians just now with all the talk of 51st states and such coming from the land to the south of us.

The Larks are one of the most influential and best sounding vocal groups of the early 1950s and yet, they are never remembered quite as well as many of their contemporaries.
