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 week, "Juke In The Back" features another unsung hero of early Rhythm & Blues, Floyd Dixon. He's often overlooked or labeled as a Charles Brown sound-alike, but Dixon was a prolific songwriter who made a great contribution to the R&B foundation of Rock n' Roll.
This week it's our birthday, and we have a fun guy guest in the backpack studio. We feature an artist who is a favourite of mine and hers, Bette Midler. We look from a distance, have the wind beneath my wings, and hear about the boogie-woogie bugle boy.
Tune in on Monday at 4 PM Eastern, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Wednesday Eastern, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just ask your SmartSpeaker of choice to play Mushroom FM and you will be at our birthday party in an instant.
Hello! Yes, it's time once again for the Come by the Hills May Day celebrations. No, we won't be marching in the streets for workers' rights, but we will be having songs about May-time, May poles, Cuckoos and many other things, and the best news of all is that the show will be presented live this week! I am likely dooming myself to technical failures by sayin this, but I think I have whatever was wrong with my technology resolved, and this without my doing much of anything at all, which is rather scary. The hope is that we will connect on time for the beginning of the show.

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years where and when you'll hear the best music from the first half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.
I will finish the listener suggested theme begun last week "Devil songs" or "Songs about Devils" spanning 67 years.

Join The Song Remembers When this Sunday at 4 pm Eastern to take a trip without leaving your living room... Or, perhaps take us on the road with you to keep you company on your travels! This week I feature songs about travel and how it changes us, and also about modes of transportation. You'll hear songs about trains, jet planes, cars, and buses, and perhaps even one about a yellow submarine (though it might not be the version you'd expect!) If you are traveling on Sunday, do not fear. You can catch The Song Remembers When on Thursday at 5 am Eastern.

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.
Matt The Cat and the "Juke In The Back" feature Fortune Records, another small, independent record label that made a sizable contribution to Rhythm & Blues and early Rock n' Roll.
This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the talents of a group we got to know as children, Peter, Paul and Mary. We don't think twice it's all right, we have a hammer, and we meet Puff the magic dragon.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, and 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Gently encourage that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there in two shakes of a proverbial lamb's tail.
Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, is heard exclusively on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

That's right, it's time for great (or maybe not so great) cover songs. Join me Sunday from 4-6 to hear a variety of covers and interesting factoids about the covers, the Baseball Segment, and the song I believe is the worst cover ever recorded. Also, I was so enthralled with the music this week I forgot to mention next weeks theme. Since my husband and I will be traveling to Minnesota to attend his aunt and uncle's 51st anniversary party, (congratulations to them!) I will be playing songs all about traveling, and various modes of transportation on next week's show.
Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you that another exciting edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic Music show is in the offing! Today, I've got songs in honour of this planet we call earth. There are songs about trees, songs about whales (and even some whale music,) songs about rivers and green banks, and many songs about how humans have affected or have been affected by the cycles of nature. I hope you'll enjoy this show. I think there's a little something for everyone. Just a heads-up that the show isn't live this week.
