Hello! Sara hillis here once again, letting you know that I'm back this week with another antic edition of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic Music Show! I think it's safe to say that our collection of music this week is ecclectic, to say the least. We've got songs about rivers, a couple of Mulls (yes, including a certain Mull we all know and love here at Mushroom FM,) a few songs about kings, some songs about maids, and to even things out, a few songs about men.

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, now in its 8th year on Mushroom FM, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet 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.
My month of encore presentations from this time in 2022 continues 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 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides from 2011, and Coco from 2017.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a 2011 American fantasy swashbuckler film directed by Rob Marshall.
It is the first film in the series not to be directed by Gore Verbinski.

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.
The Five Keys were undoubtedly one of the finest vocal groups of both the R&B and Rock n' Roll eras. They didn't score as many hits as say the Dominoes or the Clovers, but like The Orioles and The Ravens before them, they were highly influential to other vocal groups of the day.

We’ve had a terrific response to the Radio London story, which we’ve been running for the last four weeks as part of our series on offshore radio.

In this weekend’s rockumentary slot, we’ll bring you a programme referenced in the final part of that documentary. It’s called “their final hour” and was the last thing to be broadcast on Radio London on 14 August 1967 before they closed down due to the Marine offenses Act coming into force at midnight.

This week on Deep Dive, through an encore show, we enjoy the outstanding talents of American singer Carole King. We learn that you've got a friend, where you lead I will fall, and that it's too late.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just turn to that SmartSpeaker of yours and ask it nicely to play Mushroom FM and you will be there in a New York minute.

Yes, I'm still very much alive, and have been bringing The Song Remembers When to all of you for the past few weeks. What I have not been doing, obviously, is creating blog entries for these past shows. I have no excuse, really, aside from the fact it has been a very busy summer in the Riccobono house, and, unfortunately, we're already beginning to prepare for the first day of school! But, I made time this evening to write to say the topic for The Song Remembers When this week is relationships. I was thinking of doing a show only about break ups, but that seemed a little boring.

After you've enjoyed the 7th anniversary edition of 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, smart speaker or tablet 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.

Way back on August 8, 2016, I wrote this:

"Exciting news! The Celts will soon be invading the home of the fun guys! For three hours every Sunday night, jigs, reels and balads will be the order of the day as I serve up the best in Celtic music from around the world. Not only will I be playing traditional favourites which defined the genre, but also new songs inspired by tradition which have changed it forever.

There will be lots of fun features for you to enjoy, interesting info about your favourite artists and groups, and of course plenty of room for your requests.
