This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the musical talents of Bobby Rydell. We sing Cherie, start Makin' time, and do the cha-cha-cha.

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 eastern Australia.

Focus on one artist for one hour is what we do on deep dive, and it happens on mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys. Simply have a chance to your smart speaker, tell it to play mushroom FM, and you will be there in the blink of an eye.

This week, the “Juke In The Back” pays our respects to one of the great record men of the 1940s and 50s; Art Rupe. Rupe passed away on April 15, 2022 at the age of 104! He started Juke Box Records in 1945, which would become Specialty Records in ’47 and go on to become one of the most important independent labels of Rhythm & Blues and early Rock n’ Roll.

Hello! Sara Hillis here again to let you in on what's coming up on this week's iminetly impending installment of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic Music show!

So why not hang out with me for a few hours if you have the chance?

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to share with you what's coming up on this week's exciting and fun edition of Come by the Hills.
