Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's very special edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. This week, we're doing something we've done periodically over the years, featuring multiple versions of a song. In this case, it's the strange tale of the Two Sisters. It involves love, jealousy, murder, magical harps and/or fiddles and justice from beyond the grave, and sometimes even swans. We'll be playing several versions of this song throughout the show and sharing what we know of its origins and history.

This week on Deep Dive we listen to the dulcet tones of welsh singer Mary Hopkin, one of the sweetest voices in the Mushroom decades. We learn that those were the days, hear about the importance of puppies, and say goodbye. We also hear two songs in languages other than english.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern on Wednesday, 8 PM in Eastern Australia. If you love clear sounding female vocalists this is a show not to be missed.

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.

Affter you've enjoyed Mosen At Large, Mushroom FM's premier tech magazine and opinion show, this afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, during which I hope all your questions get answered, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me in The Early Years where and when you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.

Don't forget to tune in tonight 11 PM US eastern for A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
As usual, I'll be bringing you the best music from the 4 dekades that you love.
And in the seckond hour, don't miss Something South African where I feeture a South African artest or group with one of their songs.
It's a show you don't want to miss.
And it's only on Mushroom Fm

Hello again Mosen at Largers.

An update on what you will be able to hear on this weekend’s show. As well as the topics I mentioned a couple of days back, we have a couple more.

Only on Mushroom escape:

From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movie After the Thin Man from 1936.
After the Thin Man is a 1936 American comedy film directed by W. S. Van Dyke and starring William Powell, Myrna Loy, and James Stewart.

Listeners in the UK have let us know that in the last 36 hours or so, Mushroom Fm and Mushroom Escape can't be heard using the TuneIn mobile app or through Alexa integration. We don't know but we expect it is affecting Google Assistant too.

Although the timing might suggest it, this is completely unrelated to internal changes we have been making here, and we are not the only Internet station to be affected by this problem.

Kia ora everyone. It’s going to be a pleasure to get your thoughts for this week’s Mosen At Large. And as mentioned on last week’s show, if you make a contribution and mention that you’d like to be entered into the draw, you could win three months free membership to Libro.fm.

We’ve been getting more feedback on audiobooks, what makes a good and a bad narration, and whether you prefer audiobooks over Braille or TTS. You’re welcome to keep that conversation going.

Like many special events in Mushroom FM's history, the virtual meets reality as Mushroom FM relocates its cyber facilities to a new, purpose-built computer designed to serve us well into our second decade of entertaining you.
