It’s the kind of scenario that keeps one awake at night. It’s the kind of nightmare from which you wake up in a cold sweat. “Now just a minute, Jonathan, just a minute! How can it give you a nightmare when it’s kept you awake, eh? How!” “Shut up Jonathan, I’m writing this promo”. “Oh, sorry Jonathan, sorry”.

Sunday is a great day for listening to Mushroom FM and I'm proud to be part of the line-up when I bring you The Early Years, following The Mosen Explosion tonight at 6 PM.
Hi, I'm Steve Cutway. Join me for the best music from the first two decades of the rock era, the 50s and 60s, and music from before Rock and Roll became a staple of world music. I have a number of listener suggested and inspired version comparisons and a variety of music that is unmatched anywhere except on Mushroom FM the home of the fun guys.

Yes, Mushroom FM's premier (well only) Celtic music show is back for another week, and this time we're featuring an entire album throughout the show. I actually ordered this album from the UK and it came in something called an envelope. See, there's this system called the mail or the post, and its job is not just to deliver your latest Amazon purchases. I actually ordered this crazy invention called a compact disk. It's amazing! It's small and round and plays music when you insert it into the appropriate music-playing device!

On the show this week, Saturday September 16, the Snowman is flying solo. And, we'll spend much of the first hour discussing the process of preparing for, finding, and maintaining employment as a blind person. The Snowman, who has had the good fortune of having been able to do that, and stay continuously employed until his voluntary retirement, after over 40 years of work, offers his perspective of some of the pitfalls, and things to be aware of as you attempt to launch your own career. WE face special challenges when attempting to enter the work force. Not all the answers are here.

It’s another Applelicious episode of “A cuppa at the Mosens” Thursday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. Last week, we got your thoughts on your hopes and fears for the big Apple event on September 13. Well, sir Tim has spoken, and we know what features the new watch, tv, and iPhones have and have not.

For all you regular listeners, I can't promise that every song tonight will be new to you, but I bet one or two of them will, as I've been working hard over the past while to get some new artists and songs into the tried and true mix of Celtic and folk music for which Come by the Hills has become known the world over--well, maybe not the world, but you know what I mean.

It’s true! Due to a shortage of qualified personnel, management is letting The Mosen Explosion back on Mushroom FM for another week! I dunno. People these days!

Just before last week’s show started, we learned of the death of Steely Dan’s Walter Becker. Today, we’re featuring another artist who died in the last week, country music legend Don Williams, a man with a rich velvet voice and some great country tracks.

Hi, I'm Steve Cutway. "Beautiful" music was made by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and their competitors and friends, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. That's the subject of the broadway musical, "Beautiful" that I had the pleasure of seeing in Toronto a couple of weeks ago before it closed. Tonight, hear the "Beautiful" music performed by the artists that made it hits.
