The Juke In The Back is jumpin’ this week with records from the Vita Label and its direct predecessor, Mambo Records.
In 1955, record producer Mike Gradney got together with Larry Mead, who owned a record pressing plant in Pasadena, CA to form Mambo Records. They picked that name, because the Mambo was all the rage in ’55.

Hello hello! Sara Hillis here to assure you that we've got a live Come by the Hills this week! The 'lads and lasses--and dogs' playlist from two weeks ago has been waiting patiently to be played, so we'll be doing that this week, and then next week, we'll be doing our annual Stan Rogers tribute. It's good to know that things are back on track again.

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, I hope you'll enjoy it!

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, 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 Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies The Green Mile from 1999, and Mr. Boogedy from 1986.
The Green Mile is a 1999 American magical realism drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont and based on Stephen King's 1996 novel of the same name.
It stars Tom Hanks as a death row prison guard during the Great Depression who witnesses supernatural events following the arrival of an enigmatic convict ( Michael Clarke Duncan) at his facility.

Hello, Sara Hillis here! AS many of you know, Come by the Hills was cancelled last week due to a power outage caused by some very severe weather in my area. So, I promised you that I would do the show I had planned for last week this week instead. Well, I have been absolutely crazy busy the past week and have had no time to put that show together for you. However, as it is the last weekend of May, I thought it would be nice to revisit our May Day episode for this year. So, thanks for your indulgence, and I promise I'll be back with a new show next week!
