Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you that another exciting edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic Music show is in the offing! Today, I've got songs in honour of this planet we call earth. There are songs about trees, songs about whales (and even some whale music,) songs about rivers and green banks, and many songs about how humans have affected or have been affected by the cycles of nature. I hope you'll enjoy this show. I think there's a little something for everyone. Just a heads-up that the show isn't live this week.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you that this week's episode of Come by the Hills is an encore presentation of an episode from March 26, 2022. It has lots of springish themes and is just generally a fun episode. I hope to be back with you next week, but in the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this blast from the past. Keep in mind that some promos and such will be out of date, but otherwise, do enjoy the episode!

Catch Come by the Hills on Saturdays at 2:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesdays at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, enjoy!

So, I got a message from a listener today with a brilliant idea! This listener suggested that we take some time on Sara Smiles to go through the sound track of Jesus Christ Superstar. I've chosen to do this on Western Good Friday, which is tomorrow at the time of this writing. Now, anyone who may find this offensive is free not to listen, and I truly do hope that those who commemorate Christ's Passion on this day will be doing so in all peace and quietness of heart.

Yes, Come by the Hills comes your way again this week and it's a "whatever Sara feels like playing" kind of episode. Of course, you too can contribute to the musical mayhem by requesting something of a Folkish flavour when the show is live on Saturday, or you're always free to just sit back and let me do the driving, as it were. Either way, it's sure to be three hours of truly amazing music.

So, catch Come by the Hills live and in person on Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, enjoy!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that it's that time of year again, that time when we celebrate all things Irish. As March 17th was St. Patrick's Day, we'll be doing an all Irish Come by the Hills episode this weekend. It's always a fun time, and it's one of my favourite shows to do every year. So, get your favourite dram of the water of life, or perhaps your preferred pint of stout, and join the fun!

Catch Come by the Hills live on Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, enjoy!

Hello! Sara Hillis here. To anyone wondering why the Come by the Hills encore presentation I promised you is not being presented, it was due to my own human error. To make a long story short, I gave the Mushroom Pot system the wrong instruction. It was a copy-and-paste error, and I failed to notice it before 2:00 PM on Saturday. Anyhow, those of you who listen on the replay will get the March 22, 2020 episode I mentioned earlier today.

Hello there! Sara Hillis here to give you the skinny, the dope, the straight goods, the... Well, you get the point. I'm here to let you know what's coming up this week on Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's episode of Come by the Hills! Dyn ni'n dathlu ddydd gwil Dewi Sant! Yes, I just wrote in Welsh (yn Cymraig) that we're celebrating St. David's Day, which was on March 1. I've got lots of Welsh folk songs, a few songs in English by Welsh artists, and of course you get to hear me attempting to speak Welsh, which is always very entertaining.

The show is not live this week due to potential power interruptions because of a rather major snow storm that's heading our way, but it is current, and it will be fun.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that due to a confluence of events occurring today, I have decided to present you with an encore presentation of an episode of Come by the Hills from March 5, 2022. Please note that there will be some promos and other things that will therefore be out of date. I assure you that all is generally well here in Sara-land. I'm just feeling a bit off today, and my husband and I will also be busy this afternoon.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's coming up on this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. We're featuring the work of Loreena McKennitt, as she has celebrated a birthday recently. We will also remember the amazing master of the flugelhorn, Guido Basso, who passed away on February 13 of this year. Yes, he has a Folkish connection! And of course, we'll have our usual great mix of music for your enjoyment, and the show is live this week!
