Hello! Sara Hillis here to give you the heads-up on this week's episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM. Due to belated, unexpected and very welcome birthday celebrations for my husband, I'm unable to present the show live this week. Instead, we'll be revisiting the thirtieth anniversary of the year I was introduced to Celtic music which I commemorated on November 3, 2024. Enjoy!

The Mosen Explosion has moved to a new time slot, and will now be heard every week day at 9 AM and 9 PM US Eastern Time.
The Mosen Explosion has been exploding on Internet radio for over a quarter of a century now, and it’s still going strong. I bring you two hours of the best music ever made, plus interesting little tidbits of light news, musical birthdays and today in music history. Plus, see if you can work out the often cryptic brain exploder question.

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.
Matt The Cat experiences some paranormal rhythms coming out of his "Juke In The Back" as we celebrate the truly spooky, sinister and down-right crazy sounds of a vintage rhythm & blues Halloween.

After you've enjoyed The Mosen explosion with Jonathan Mosen tomorrow afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, for the final time in that timeslot, with his brain exploders and great music, 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 quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.

This week we enjoy the outstanding singing, writing and musical talents of American singer Carly Simon. We have no secrets, think lovin' you's the right thing to do, and think you're so vain.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is Tuesday morning where I am in Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is the evening in Australia. Time zones are funny. It's easy to join. Simply tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there faster than a US tariff change.

Hello! Sara Hillis here with some scary news! ON tonight's episode of Come by the Hills, we'll be journeying into the realm of the uncanny! Yes, it's our annual Halloween--or is that Hilloween?--special! I've got strange tales of ghostly encounters, meetings with beings from other worlds and even a song inspired by the golden age of British Hammer horror movies. It'll be frighteningly folky fun!
