Sara Hillis here to let you know that Folk and Celtic music takes over the Mushroom airwaves (or bits and bytes or something) for three hours at 8:00 PM Eastern this very day! Yes, three hours of great Folk and Celtic music, and then there's me. Best of all, it's live! Live, I tell you!

Yes, Sara Hillis here once again to let you know that since Wednesday, July 1 is Canada Day here in, well, Canada, I'm going to be live tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern with three hours of Canadian Folk and Celtic music for your enjoyment, and perhaps for your edification. You're welcome to request something if you like, or you you can just sit back and celebrate whatever the heck it really is to be Canadian. We've got songs about history, songs about places, and songs that celebrate the fact that, as The Arrogant Worms say, Canada's really big!

Hi there. Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic music show. There's lots to celebrate as we go to air, including the fact that Sunday, June 21, is National Indigenous People's Day here in Canada. To mark this, we'll be featuring the life and work of Buffy Sainte-Marie throughout the show. We'll be sure and play a few Quebecois tunes as well in honour of St. Jean-Baptiste Day which is coming up on Tuesday.

Sara Hillis here to let you know that it's almost time once again for Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show here on Mushroom FM!

So, while I'm doing that, you can listen to this show which included live music from me as well as a few great Folk and Celtic tunes from the collection.
