Join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades including music from before the rock era.
No music from before and only one song from after the golden age of rock this week. It's part 3 of my look at songs recorded by related people, together or separately. Some are related by blood, others by marriage.

Yes, once again, it's time for another episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic music show! We've got our usual eclectic selection of great music along with our usual features, and we're slowly introducing festive favourites into the mix. One of the best things I've always loved about the holiday season is the lead-up to it, so over the next few weeks, we'll slowly be increasing the amount of holiday content in the show until our huge extravaganza on the eve of Christmas Eve!

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.

This is a very big deal! This coming Friday, November 23, 2018, is a special day on Sara Smiles, because for the first time ever, I'm going to do a completely live and unpredictable show! We'll have two hours of music from the four decades of magic mushroom memories as usual, but beyond that, one never knows what might happen. So, if you're interested in witnessing the insanity, feel free to tune in at 12:00 PM Eastern time on Friday and tweet and email me to your heart's content!

Several listeners have suggested show ideas. This week, I'm continuing one suggested by a friend of more than 50 years and a loyal listener - songs recorded by related people together or separately. There are a surprisingly large number of songs and they'll span the decades from the 1930s to the 1970s.

Yes, before you know it, it will be time once again for Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic music show, known more familiarly as Come by the Hills! Whether you listen every week or whether this will be your first time tuning in, there'll be something for everyone. We'll have great Celtic music and all our usual features, including a brand new entry in "Me Music," this one composed by me at the suggestion of a listener! We'll have music to make you laugh, cry, chill out and stomp your feet. We can't do too much chilling out however, as that's The Snowman's job on Moon Dreams.

Did you know that The Mosen Explosion replays on Mushroom FM? Hearing it live is the best experience because you can interact with other listeners and have input into the show. But if that’s not possible, you can hear it every Tuesday morning between 5 and 9 AM Eastern US time, that’s 10 AM in the UK. It’s also Monday night at 9 PM in Eastern Australia, which is a jolly good time.
