Greetings and salutations! I'm just popping onto your screen to let you know about this week's live edition of Come by the Hills! In honour of the North American version of Labour Day, which is always the first Monday in September, I'll have songs featuring various occupations: miners, fishermen, weavers, truck-drivers, chimney-sweeps, ploughmen, farmers and anything else I (or you, for that matter) can think of. We'll also be hearing an audiodrama that a listener told me about featuring the heroine of one of the songs we played last week.

On august 21, 2016, a little show called Come by the Hills made its debut on Mushroom FM! It was primarily a Celtic music show, but as time went on, other Folk elements began to creep in. It's still got a major Celtic foundation, but I'd like to think it's done some evolving over the years. Tonight's the night to celebrate eight years of this crazy little show, and I hope you'll join me for three hours of Folkish fun!

Hello! As I mentioned last week if you were listening to Come by the Hills, this week's show is an encore presentation of our Stan Rogers special from June 2, 2024. I hope to be back live with you soon.

Catch Come by the Hills on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, I hope you'll enjoy it.

It's almost time for another live episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM! Once again, I've got three hours of great music to delight your ear and perhaps broaden your mind. Really though, it's just awesome music! So come and hang out with me if you like!

Catch Come by the Hills live from the 7th floor on Sunday at 8:00 PM eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, I hope you'll enjoy it.

It's almost time for another three-hour Folkish feast on Come by the Hills! I've got songs about foxes and a tyger (yes it's spelled correctly,) a salute to John Barleycorn and other barley-related matters, and even some songs about love, including one of my absolute favourites by Nanci Griffith. Come along and hang out if you're of a mind!

It will soon be time for another fun and Folky episode of Come by the Hills, once again brought to you live from the 7th floor! This week, I've got some waltzes, including one about toilets, (yes, toilets!), some songs about willows, a song featureing a girl with April in her eyes, a sunset hymn and much much more! The best part is that it's live, which means that, depending on my whimsical whims or the whims of you, the listener, things could change at a moment's notice! So, sit back and enjoy the ride!

Coming up on Sunday on Mushroom FM, it's time for another encore presentation on Come by the Hills. This week, we'll be revisiting March 9, 2024, where I featured a lovely album recorded live at a couple of summer folk festivals. It's The Road Back Home by Loreena McKennitt! I hope you enjoy this blast from the past, especially since it is Folk festival time in this part of the world.

Hello hello! It will soon be time for another episode of Come by the Hills! This week, it's another three hours of fabulous folky fun with lots of interesting songs for the listening! WE have far away songs, farewell songs, songs about golds, songs about Willies and willows, and whatever you might want to hear as well! So why not come along and see what all the fun is about?

It's an eclectic edition of Come by the Hills this week, promising to broaden the mind and tug at the heart. I hope you can join me for three hours of amazing Folk and Celtic music presented live from the 7th Floor here on Mushroom FM!

It's almost time for another fantabulicious episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music Show here on Mushroom FM. As July 1 is Canada Day, I'll be playing lots of songs with Canadian themes and by Canadian artists. Also, I have a couple of requests which have been waiting ever so patiently to be played, so will get to them as well during the show. It promises to be fun as always, and I'm happy to say that I'm able to broadcast live from the 7th Floor this week! So polish off your maple leaves (or is that Maple Leafs?) and Come by the Hills for Canada Day, eh?
