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 Hello, Dolly from 1969, and Road to Bali from 1952.
Hello, Dolly! is a 1969 American musical romantic comedy film based on the 1964 Broadway production of the same name, which was based on Thornton Wilder's play The Matchmaker.

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.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the jazz, blues and soul talents of Australian singer Renee Geyer. We learn that it's a man's man's world, experience stares and whispers and stand on shaky ground.

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. March up to that SmartSpeaker of yours and demand that it play Mushroom FM and you will be there in a trice.

Deep Dive, exclusively heard on Mushroom FM, is home of the fun guys.

Since The Song Remembers When will air on Easter Sunday from 4-6 pm eastern, I thought an Easter themed show would be appropriate. I hope you'll join me for music that brings back Easter memories, even if most of the songs have nothing to do with Easter whatsoever to most people but me! Also, listen back to a classic Easter Sunday baseball moment from the Milwaukee Brewers in the new baseball segment. Do you have a favorite baseball team? Want to engage in some good natured smack talk? Bring it on!

After you've enjoyed 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 or smart speaker 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.
Now that the time continuum has sorted itself out, I'll continue the theme begun four weeks ago, "songs about time", playing more songs about time, including your suggestions. There are so many more songs that I will continue this theme next 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 movie Gone with the Wind from 1939.
Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American epic historical romance film adapted from the 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell.
The film was produced by David O. Selznick of Selznick International Pictures and directed by Victor Fleming.

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.

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 Clovers were the most successful rhythm & blues vocal group from 1951 to 1955, racking up 16 top 10 R&B singles during that time-frame. Three of those singles went to #1. Though they didn't have a huge career defining hit, like The Dominoes did with "Sixty Minute Man," The Clovers claim to fame was consistency.

I've been emailing our newest Fun Guy Melissa about her first show of the song remembers which she began with two Men At Work songs, which prompted me to play an encore show about them which I made in 2020. They are an Australian rock band. So we visit a land down under, ask who it could be now, and meet Dr Heckyll and Mr Jive.

After you've enjoyed 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 or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's first quarter century with nods to other decades and genres.
The "boys of Summer" are back with the opening of the 2023 Major League Baseball season yesterday. I'll celebrate the return of baseball in hour 1 and the beginning of hour 2 with songs about baseball. It's my favourite professional sport.
