**A Musical Farewell to a Timeless Star: The Mosen Explosion Pays Tribute to Connie Francis**
This Friday on The Mosen Explosion, we're paying tribute to Connie Francis, beloved singer and pop culture icon, who has died at the age of 87. And we’re honoring her remarkable legacy the best way we know how: with an hour of stories, songs, and celebration.
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.
After you've enjoyed The Mosen explosion with Jonathan Mosen this afternoon from 2 to 4 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 quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.
All the music this week is from a single year as I will continue the theme I began May 7 on my return show, long songs. Last week, you heard songs from September 1971 to June 1972. This week, you'll hear songs from July 1972 to July 1973.
This week on Deep Dive we replay a tribute show for Australian musician and entertainer Doug Parkinson, who died on 15 March 2021. We meet dear Prudence, go heart to heart, and promise that I'll be around.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern on Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. It's easy! Just tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there real quick.
Hello! Sara Hillis popping round again to tell you that in just a few short hours, Come by the Hills will be coming your way. I've got lots of goodies on this week's edition of the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM, including songs about summer, selections from Simon & Garfunkel's debut album, and songs about boats. Also of course, our Summer of Woody Guthrie feature has another installment. Best of all, the show is once again live, so feel free to chime in!

Greetings! Sara Hillis here to let you know about this week's impendingly imminent episode of Come by the Hills! Yes, in under three hours as of this posting, I'll be getting underway with a fantastic three hours that promises to contain something for everyone. Two weeks ago, I launched a recurring feature, at least for the summer, about Woody Guthrie, and this week, I have two of his Dust Bowl ballads, as they have come to be called. Speaking of ballads, I've got a piece called "Ballad for Americans," which is a cantata written in 1939 and which I think you'll find interesting.
