Yes, we're back for another three hours of great Celtic music, all our features in place and everything ship shape for a great time! Catch all the awesomness on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, or listen to the replay on Friday at 4:00 AM Eastern. Also, don't forget the archive, which is available at http://www.mushroomfm.com/sarahillis. however and whenever you listen, I hope you'll enjoy it!

When Jonathan rides off into the sunset with Van Halen, stay tuned to Mushroom FM for 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.

Greetings fellow music travelers.

As we journey through four hours of auditory discovery together tonight, the music will command even more of center stage than it already does.

IN the first hour, we will twist and turn our way through the vibrant British Blues scene of the late 60's.

also, throughout the night, we will commemorate the passing of Art Neville, as well as dig into lots of great live performances from Gary Wright, starcastle, and Ian Gillan just to name a few.

Our trip begins at 11:00 PM Eastern, and will repeat on Wednesday at 4:00 PM Eastern.

We’ve had a couple of big shows over the last couple of weeks, with our amazing moon landing special last week and the show about the sport that must not be named the week before that. I’ll have a little to say about that on this week’s Mosen Explosion.

But for the most part, this week’s show is wide open, with a great variety of music and conversation that could take us anywhere.

Bonnie is here with a bulletin containing something of significant significance, and we’ll look back on this day in history.

greetings fellow music travelers.

Tonight's excursion through The Depths will find us taking many divergent paths that will lead us to all kinds of musical surprises.

Just a few sounds we will visit are:

• early hard rock from grand Funk, Humble Pie and Spooky tooth
• Psychedelia from Lothar and the Hand People, and The Rotary Connection
• Soulful sounds from the Isley Brothers, Tavares, and a very rare live performance by Hall and Oates
• Extremely rare performances by Joe Cocker and Rita Coolidge, and Derek and The Dominos

Sorry to disappoint you, but when I say “on-location”, we’re not quite getting to the moon to host this week’s show. I put in a proposal, but unfortunately it wasn’t approved by our miserly Mushroom FM Budget Director.

Nevertheless, we are indeed heading out of the studio for some of this week’s show, as Bonnie, Heidi and I head to Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, to examine some moon rock. We’ll tell you the story behind how New Zealand ended up with it, and Heidi will read a newspaper story from the day of the moon landing from 50 year old newsprint.
