Hi there. Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic music show. There's lots to celebrate as we go to air, including the fact that Sunday, June 21, is National Indigenous People's Day here in Canada. To mark this, we'll be featuring the life and work of Buffy Sainte-Marie throughout the show. We'll be sure and play a few Quebecois tunes as well in honour of St. Jean-Baptiste Day which is coming up on Tuesday.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the music, stories and memories of Harry Chapin. We take a taxi, learn a love song, and become the morning DJ.

Listen on Monday at 4 PM Eastern, 6 AM on Tuesday in Australia. Or on Wednesday at 6 AM Eastern, 8 PM in Australia.

Email me at Graeme@MushroomFM.com with your favourite artist, songs and memories. Or attach a sound recording and join me on the show.
