Hello. Sara Hillis here again to let you know what's coming up tonight on the fabulously folky feast that is Come by the Hills! Join me live at 8:00 PM Eastern for three hours of songs about May, some Nova Scotia songs we didn't get to last week (including a comparison of three versions of The Ballad of Spring Hill for your perusal and pleasure,) and whatever else I feel like playing. Who knows? We may even throw in some Julie Andrews for the fun of it. It is May after all!

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.

Greetings fellow music travelers.

Saturday night is almost here, so open up your mind and open up your ears for four hours of deep classic rock with lots of tantalizing tasties sprinkled in for good measure.

We'll listen to brand new music from Gordon Lightfoot, David Clayton Thomas and Deep Purple. We'll also hear a new track from Doug Cosmo Clifford of CCR fame, and I will tell you the whole story of his new album that has been 35 years in the making.

After you've enjoyed The Mosen Explosion this afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00 PM, stay tuned and join me in The Early Years where 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.
I will remember a sad event that happened 50 years ago this weekend, pay tribute to two musicians we've lost recently and finish my listener-suggested "songs about music" theme begun March 28.

It was a warm Sydney Saturday in 1974. We first kissed in her family's pool. Joan Armatrading was on the radio. I have never forgotten.

Music is the backdrop to many of our memories.

I'm Graeme Innes, and we'll share those memories on Deep Dive. We will listen to one artist for one hour. We'll talk about the artist, share our favourite songs, and our memories as well.

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

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 Meet the Parents from 2000.
Meet the Parents is a 2000 American comedy film written by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg and directed by Jay Roach.

Hi everyone

On the show a couple of weeks ago, a few people expressed interest in my smoker and how it worked. Last weekend of course we wanted to honour ANZAC Day, and demonstrating a smoker didn't seem like an appropriate thing to do.
However, this week, I've ventured out the back and recorded a demo for you which I'll be featuring on the show.

As always there's a great selection of music, and lots of friendly chat, so I hope you'll join me from 4 PM Eastern that's 6 AM Saturday on the east coast of Australia, and 8 AM in New Zealand.

In this week's program we will discuss Dreams!
What are the things you dream about?
Also what are your favorite Dreaming Songs???

Get me your requests.

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.

The Early Years, heard originally at 05:00 PM Saturday afternoon, after The Mosen Explosion, normally replays Wednesday morning at 07:00 AM. Last weekend was Mushroom FM's 10th birthday and I celebrated it on The Early Years. But the main event, Mushroomstock 2020, took place Sunday from 08:00 AM to 08:00 PM thus pre-empting The Lost Lennon Tapes and Juke In The Back, meaning that listeners in the North American Eastern Time Zone and points west (except perhaps Hawaii) wouldn't hear them, unless their night owls. So they're running in the Early Years replay time slot this week only.
