Join me in The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from the 50s and 60s including music from before the rock era which is generally accepted as starting in 1955.
This week, it's part 10 of the countdown of the greatest songs of the 50s and 60s according to Rolling Stone Magazine. I'll start at #87 and continue to #54. I'm almost at the top 50.

Yes, I said I'd be back, and I am. It's time once again for another trip through the folky favourites on Come by the Hills, the Celtic Music Show! The usual features are back, and we've got a preview of Loreena McKennitt's new album which is called Lost Souls, and is due out on may 11. I'd like to say that I have an in with the artist and that's how I got this new song, but alas no. I simply pre-ordered the album on iTunes. We will play the entire album when it comes out, but we'll have a taste of it tonight and perhaps over subsequent weeks if more songs become available.

Happy Orthodox Easter to those who celebrate it.

I did it! I finally souping well did it! After weeks, well, really, years of reading about Facebook’s outrageous behaviour, I finally took the plunge and deleted my account.

It feels utterly epic, and I’m celebrating on this week’s Mosen Explosion with songs about freedom, liberation and taking a stand. Your requests are of course very welcome.

It’s Julian Lennon’s 55th birthday today, so we’ll play a couple of groovy tracks from him.

Hi all,

For those who listen to Sara Smiles regularly, I know i promised you a Friday show, but technical difficulties and time constraints have forced me to cancel it for today. I will be back on Monday with more Sara Smiles, and of course there will be another episode of Come by the Hills, the Celtic Music Show on Sunday night as usual. So, never fear! You're in good hands with the Mushroom Pot for today! So, till we meet again, I hope you stay loose, don't sweat the small stuff and be the change you want to see in the world!
