Hello hello! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend! Sara Hillis here with another edition of Come by the Hills! I've decided to revisit a theme we've had before, that of the John Barleycornucopia. We'll play several different versions of this very old Folk song throughout the show, along with another new teaser from the second volume of the Joni Mitchell archives--this time a duet with James Taylor, a Folky salute to John Lennon's birthday courtesy of Judy Collins, and as usual, three hours of great Folk and Celtic music for your listening pleasure.

It’s Jonathan Mosen back with another edition of Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family.

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 in 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.
The top 100 of 1971 continues this week. I'll start at #79 and get to #56. I'll pick it up at #55 next week.
You can contact me any time by email at steve at mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 5pm Saturday in NZ, 3pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Alien from 1979 and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from 1941.
Alien is a 1979 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Dan O'Bannon.
Based on a story by O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, it follows the crew of the commercial space tug Nostromo, who encounter the eponymous Alien, an aggressive and deadly extraterrestrial set loose on the ship.

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 talents of the 80s boy band the Pet Shop Boys. We hear that it's a sin, about West end girls, domino dancing and suburbia.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is now - thanks to daylight savings time, 7 AM in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 9 PM in Eastern Australia. That SmartThing of yours can take you there - just say play Mushroom FM. The wonders of modern technology!

It's almost time for another episode of Come by the Hills! I'm Sara Hillis and I'm here to tell you that I've got three hours of fabulous Folk and Celtic music for you coming up in just a few short hours! The show won't be live today due to a rather busy weekend, but I've got a couple of great songs by Nancy Griffith, another teaser from the second volume of the Joni Mitchell Archives which will be released at the end of October, and even some new Me Music! So join me. Won't you?

Another countdown begins this week 10 years after the last one, this one from 1971. I'll start at #100 and get to #80. But before that, I'll play one more baseball song that I wish I'd remembered for the show two weeks ago.
