This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the 60s motown sound of Momma Cass. We dream a little dream, make your own kind of music, move in a little closer baby and hear words of love. We also hear about the various ways in which her life is alleged to have ended.

Join me for the programme at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is an early 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just tell your SmartThing to play Mushroom FM and you will be there in the shake of a lamb's tail, or a nano second, depending on your preference of metaphor.

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.

Hello there! Sara Hillis here to let you know that it's almost time for another edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. I've got a couple of songs about July as we ring out the old month, some songs about hard times, others about rivers, and in general three hours of Folkish fabulousness for your listening pleasure!

On Mushroom Escape on Sunday starting at Midnight Eastern and repeated at 4, 8, 12, 4 and 8, I’m back with a fresh edition of Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family. And oh my word, what a giant edition we have for you this week. We have giants that are selfish, giants that aren’t very smart, and of course if we’re going to be telling giant stories, well we have to tell the story about the giant at the top of that bean stalk!

Not all four-legged animals are our friends, but this week we’ll feature some that are. Can you guess which ones you’ll hear about?

Affter 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 enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
A single year is represented this week, 1961, as I continue the countdown of the top 100 from that year compiled by Billboard magazine. I'll pick up where I left off last week at #74 and continue to #46.
