Yes, once again, I have an encore presentation of MushroomFM's premier Celtic music show for you. it's three hours of great Celtic and Folk music with a Remembrance Day focus that was originally aired on November 11, 2018. We'll hear songs honouring fallen soldiers and telling stories from both World Wars, and we'll explore more modern attitudes toward this day through music as well.

So join me for this very special encore presentation, lest we forget.

Yes, we're back this weekend with another episode of Mushroom FM's premier Celtic music show, and as Halloween is almost upon us, we'll be spending three hours in the land of fairies, elves and other mythical creatures. We'll have songs about ghosts and mysterious visitations, as well as songs about betrayal and tragedy of a very numan kind.

Yes, it's almost that time again, time to join Mushroom FM for three hours of great Celtic and Folk music on Come by the Hills. I'll be spinning tunes from an array of different artists and bands to satisfy your Folk fix, and to help my Canadian listeners to while away the eve of our Federal election in fine style!.

Yes, it's Thanksgiving here in Canada and we'll be feasting on three hours of Folk and Celtic music once again on Mushroom FM! We've got quite a range of bands and artists for you this week, some modern and some not-so-modern, and generally, we'll have a great time. So whether you're gorging on pumpkin pie or not, be sure to leave room for Come by the Hills!

Yes, it's almost that time again, time for three hours of great Celtic and Folk music on Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier Celtic music show! There's no theme this week, but we'll have our usual selection of music from a diverse group of artists to keep you entertained. So, whether you're a long-time folk fan or are just interested in discovering what all the fuss is about, tune in!

Yes, here in the Northern hemisphere, the weather is turning cooler and there is even, here and there, the crunch of dry leaves underfoot. The true beauty of Autumn has not yet come upon us, but the season is here, so we'll be easin' into the season with some songs with an Autumnal theme, as well as other songs which have nothing to do with Autumn so the Kiwis don't accuse us of being Northern-Hemispherocentric or something. It'll be another episode sans features, but one thing it will most definitely not be sans is amazing Celtic and Folk music!

Due to some technical difficulties, those listening to the noon Eastern edition of Sara Smiles today may get half the show or no show at all. However, those listening to the replay should get the full Monty, as it were. sorry about this, but it was a silly wi-fi issue here at my parents' house which caused the buggaboo. I sincerely hope it is fixed now, and I equally sincerely apologize for the annoyance.

Life has caught up to me this week, but don't worry! You're still getting three hours of Come by the Hills, this week from September 23, 2018. We'll hear some old promos, the usual banter, and of course some great Celtic music! I hope to be back next week with a brand new show, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

Yes, Sunday is the day for Celtic Music here on Mushroom FM. I'm coming at you with another three thrilling hours of Celtic and Folk sounds on Come by the Hills, touted (by me if by no one else) as Mushroom FM's premier Celtic music show! For a change, we're going to ditch our usual features and just have a great time with some great music.

Well, the excitement of the 3-day Novel Contest being over, I have no further excuse to recycle our episodes, unless of course I want to boost Mushroom FM's reputation for environmental ethics, which, I hasten to add, needs no boosting whatsoever. This is all just a very convoluted way of saying that I've got a new Come by the Hills episode for you on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern. All our features are firmly in place, including a Celtic Cover I've been thinking about for some time now and a cracking set for Fiddlin' Around by Patrick Street!
