Hello All-
Tomorrow is St. patrick's Day in the USA. Of course, here in New Zealand where I am, it's happening today. none the less, The Land Sings is going green tomorrow.

We'll have Irish everything - love, hate, alzheimers and, of course those great rebel songs about the Irish question. God bless England.... not!

The Mosen Explosion is taking a break this week, as I bring you a four-hour tribute to Sir George Martin. It's part of a series of programmes we're running this week to celebrate and commemorate the life of this outstanding producer, arranger, composer and musician.

If you weren't able to catch the first airing of Brian Hartgen's programme where he showcased the work of Sir George outside the Beatles, then I encourage you to head to http://MushroomFM.com/schedule to find out when it replays at a time that works for you.

It’s time for Bonair, or is it? Of course it is! Even though some of the world springs forward later this weekend, little ole Bonair is right here on wwww.mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps at 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST on Saturday night. Due to this little thingy called time, we will play lots of songs with time and change in the title, find out what you think of changing times or if the times they are a changing. There will be lots of banter, “Food for Thought” and lots of time for your requests—whether they be time related or not.

Hello all-
On The Land Sings this week, we go back in to history to take a look at the Sacred Harp tradition. "What?" you may ask then come listen to the programme.

We also have music from source singer Jean Ritchie. We have our first folk45 guest. Don't forget you can be my guest for Folk45 by emailing mara@mushroomfm.com

We have waxing political in the second hour and it's really funny this week.
Enjoy the show!

It’s Saturday night, 11 Pm Eastern, and I’m just sitting here relaxing in my shed.
It’s been a busy week, and I’ve watched all of House of Cards season four, hmm, now what to do, what to do!
I have it! Why don’t you all come join me in the Shed.
I’ll waffle on about things, and heck, I’ll even play some music.
I’ll add a triple threat, and a live and loud segment into the mix as well.
However, if that’s not enough, why not chuck loads of requests my way as well.

Hello cherubs! What a week it's been since we last exploded together! What a week! Super Tuesday, Super Saturday, Bonnie and I celebrated the fourth anniversary of our first long conversation when she co-hosted this very show, and and and...House of Cards Season 4! OMG and mega squeeness abounds! Ooooh that Frank Underwood is a nasty piece of work isn't he? I watch the whole 13 episodes of season four back to back I did. Now my sleeping patterns are all exploded.

All good things must come to an end, and at noon EST the MushroomFM.com Fun Guys book club will hold its last meeting. Join your fellow readers in reviewing the first book in Jeffrey Archer’s exciting family saga “Only Time Will Tell” book one in the Clifton Chronicles. Due to daylight savings in NZ, we have decided to suspend the book club for the time being, but no fear literary types, we will be announcing an exciting new bookish event on this week’s Bonair—heard at 6:00 p.m. EST on Saturday.

It’s Bonair on air—Saturday 6:00 – 8;00 p.m. EST right here on MushroomFM.com and in all your fav music apps. Join me, Mrs. Mosen—not to be confused with Mrs. Miller as we play your requests, chunk a few of my favs on the virtual turntable, and enjoy the randomness of the playlist. There will be another tasty treat from the Mosen kitchen in “Food for Thought”, and lots of banter from yours truly. Though the Fun guys book club has been suspended for the time being, I will be making an exciting announcement on a new bookish project you will want to partake in.

Hello All-
Mara Kelland here and I'd like to invite you to listen to the inauguration of a new programme on MushroomFM called The Land Sings.

This is a two-hour long programme of folk music both traditional and modern. In this first programme we have music from Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Anne Hills and more. We go back in to history with the anthracite miners and we have waxing political in the second hour.

Don't forget you can send me requests/feedback to mara@mushroomfm.com or on twitter @musicalmara.

The Snowman Radio (SnowWhiteFM) is a three hour show, which airs Saturday nights starting at 8 PM Eastern. During the middle hour, I have invited a long time friend to join me for the broadcast. And sometimes, we are even joined by a third guy. We are all old radio people, with stories about our times in the broadcast industry. So, there is plenty of talk during my second hour, and we usually break it up with a few tracks from 60's pop music, the stuff we remember. We're hoping that the candid conversation, and spontaneous interplay wil be entertaining for you.
