Celebrating Saint Andrew's Day and all Things Scottish, this Week on Come by the Hills!
Hello, hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! As Saint Andrew's Day is coming up on November 30, and as Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, it made sense to me to play a relatively all-Scottish show for this week. Along with all the great Scottish music in general, I'm including a specific group of song-pairs with the same melody but with re-purposed lyrics. Some begin as songs recounting battles and end as satires, some begin as patriotic songs and end as something more spiritual, and others stay satires but are modernized to fit the changing times. So pour yourself a lovely single malt and come along!
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.
