Got that Urge for Celtic Music? Come by the Hills Comes Your Way Soon!

Sara Hillis back to tell you that we've got a great bunch of music for you tonight on Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier (and one and only) Folk and Celtic music show. It's so great that I can't even tell you yet precisely what I'll be playing, except that we do have another teaser tune from Joni Mitchell's upcoming first box set of archives for you. She recorded this one for her Mom's birthday in 1965, and if you've read this carefully, you'll already know what it is. Suffice to say that it's one of my favourite Joni tunes ever!

Coming up on Saturday at the Described Movies: The 39 Steps

Only on Mushroom escape:
http://www.mushroomfm.com/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 The 39 Steps from 1939.
The 39 Steps is a 1935 British thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll.
It is very loosely based on the 1915 adventure novel The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan.

Have your say ahead of this weekend's Mosen at Large. Mainstreaming versus schools for the blind. Which is best?

Kia ora everyone. Time flies, mate, and now for me it is flying with the help of a shiny new Apple Watch Series 6. If you’re considering upgrading your Apple Watch, or perhaps you’ve been holding off buying your first Apple Watch but there’s now enough to tantalise you into looking at one seriously, I’ll play you my Apple Watch unboxing on the show this week. I’ll demonstrate how you safely back up an old Apple Watch in preparation for the big transfer, and then we’ll set up the new watch.

Words, Words, and More Words on The Country Oasis This Week

I love words. I love reading, and I love word games. And some would even say I love to talk. So, my question is, what do construction, mining, farming, money, time, and numbers all have in common? You probably wouldn't think much, but country music is full of these themes, and somehow I've managed to link them all together for tomorrow's show. And, kind of like one of my word games that I love to play, some of the songs are, ... Well, ... Very loose associations. But, isn't that all part of the fun?

Coming up on A little bit of this, and a little bit of that,

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 Folkish Fall, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Yes, Autumn is on its way for us in the northern hemisphere, and Come by the Hills is on its way too! Join me tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern for three hours of great Folk and Celtic music, some with a hint of Autumn and some that's just plain awesome in any season. There's also another personal tribute that I'll be paying to a very dear friend and spiritual role-model who died peacefully on Wednesday after a long and fruitful life.
