Celebrating St. Patrick's Day, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that it's that time of year again, that time when we celebrate all things Irish. As March 17th was St. Patrick's Day, we'll be doing an all Irish Come by the Hills episode this weekend. It's always a fun time, and it's one of my favourite shows to do every year. So, get your favourite dram of the water of life, or perhaps your preferred pint of stout, and join the fun!

Catch Come by the Hills live on Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, enjoy!

Human Error Strikes Again, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here. To anyone wondering why the Come by the Hills encore presentation I promised you is not being presented, it was due to my own human error. To make a long story short, I gave the Mushroom Pot system the wrong instruction. It was a copy-and-paste error, and I failed to notice it before 2:00 PM on Saturday. Anyhow, those of you who listen on the replay will get the March 22, 2020 episode I mentioned earlier today.

Camille Howard “Boogie Woogie Chanteuse” this week on The Juke In The Back!

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.
The pre-Rock n' Roll era is full of unsung performers who's style directly impacted those who came after. This week's "Juke In The Back" spotlight on Camille Howard is one such example. Her boogie woogie piano style was inventive, fluid and pure joy. It left a lasting impression on Ike Turner, Fats Domino and Professor Longhair.
