What does it mean, to have your own radio show? For me, it is the high point of my week.
I, the Snowman, am a retired engineer, now living the good life, a life of mostly leisure and freedom, to pursue what interests me. While still working, I did other things in life, in order to make a more lucrative living. But, radio broadcasting has always been my passion.
So, the oppertunity to broadcast on MushroomFM is a real privilege for me.
We'll be having some more new music (new to the show at least) this week on Mushroom Fm's Premier Celtic Music Show, but we'll also have our usual features: Me Music, Fiddlin' Around and Celtic Covers. It'll be a great show! Catch it tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern, right after Steve Cutway and The Early Years, or if you miss it, catch the replay on Friday morning after Jonathan Mosen and The Daily Fibre. Also, you can find the archive of the show at: http://www.mushroomfm.com/sarahillis. Enjoy!
There’s no new Mosen Explosion show this weekend. Aw. But in its long history, there are many many episodes in the old back catalogue. So this week, we’ll be taking you back to a Mosen Explosion from this week in August 1927. Oops, the computer is having a problem computing that, so how about we just go back to this week in 2014?
Find out the things we were talking about and the music we were playing four years ago.
It’s all on the jolly old Mosen Explosion, 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK, only on the mighty Mushroom FM.
Join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from the 50s and 60s with an occasional nod to other decades, including music from before the rock era which is generally accepted as starting in 1955.
Jaw-dropping songs are on vacation until September. It's all about summer tonight as I present summer songs from the 50s and 60s. I have several version comparisons, twin spins and a triple play as part of a salute to "The California Sound".
Well, Ok, it's not actually that bad. He's still perfectly fine, and decidedly himself. But, rumor has it that the Mosen Explosion is fresh out of nuclear dynamite this week, and will be taking a well-deserved week off. That's good for him. But, it's tough for you, because you'll be missing 4 hours of quality, live programming that you are used to, as a normal part of your weekend. fortunately, you've got the Snowman Radio to fall back on. There is a darned good time happening, every Saturday night on the mushroom, with SnowWhiteFM, which is another quality, rockin'

For a couple of months now, I've been talking about jaw-dropping songs. What are jaw-dropping songs? As defined by a regular listener, jaw-dropping songs are
songs that made you stop and listen the first time you heard them, whether you ultimately liked them or not; or songs that made you say, "what the frig!"

Yes, this week we're pulling out all the stops on Mushroom FM's Premier Celtic Music Show, because we'll be featuring a number of different versions of a folk song, likely English in origin, which is all about the planting, harvesting and distilling of barley. Barley has been a staple of human existence for thousands of years. It, along with wheat and other grains, was why we gave up hunting and gathering and became stay-at-home farmers first, and then built civilizations.
