I had a wonderful time creating the playlists and recording The Song Remembers When this week, as I celebrate my mom, Judy, and my wonderful mother-in-law, Karen. We will hear songs from the sixties my mom introduced me to, Beatle and Paul McCartney songs to honor my mother-in-law's love for Sir Paul, and even a small tribute to the second person to make me a mom, our daughter, Oriana, who was born 13 years ago on May 15. You'll also hear some great comedy clips and songs, along with a small tribute to mothers who are no longer with us, or anyone searching for answers in their lives.

Greetings and salutations! Sara Hillis here, just popping round to say that it'll soon be time for another epic episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM. Once again, I've got three hours of fantastic musical selections for you, and finally, after a bit of a break, there will be a "Me Music" feature in the first hour of the show.

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 the first half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.
Only one song from a decade other than the 60s this week.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies: Roman Holiday from 1953, and Please Don’t Eat the Daisies from 1960
Roman Holiday is a 1953 American romantic comedy film directed and produced by William Wyler.
It stars Audrey Hepburn as a princess out to see Rome on her own and Gregory Peck as a reporter.

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.
This week, Matt The Cat features the incredible story of Johnny Bragg. It's one of the greatest stories in all of Rhythm & Blues and early Rock n' Roll.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the fantastic music of Sir Elton John. We meet Daniel, the rocket man, and burn a candle in the wind.

Tune in on Monday at 4 PM Eastern, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. or at 6 AM Wednesday Eastern, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. The demand of that SmartSpeaker of yours is that it plays Mushroom FM and it will do so in a trice.

Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

Hello! I had hoped to share this episode on MixCloud, but due to the fact that this Gordon Lightfoot tribute seemingly has too many tracks by the same artist--gee, I wonder why?--it was restricted due to licensing. So, I'm passing along this Dropbox link. I'm doing it publicly because of the special nature of this episode.

No music from before or after the four decades of music Mushroom FM usually plays this week.

No, not Friends, the American TV show! Friends, as in actual living, breathing people who love and support us through our lives. You will hear more than a few sappy songs, but I think it's impossible to talk about friends without getting at least a little sappy. You will also hear the first (and probably one of the only) rap songs I'll play on this show, along with an adorable clip of John and Sean Lennon talking about "A Little Help From My Friends." I'll also share thoughts about Mental Health Awareness Month--a topic very dear to my heart.
