It's a Labour of Love for Labour Day, this Week on Come by the Hills!
Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's all new edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! This week, it's all about work and workers, the people who love them, and the consequences of doing certain jobs. It's Labour Day Weekend here in North America, and as I try to do every year, I found several songs for you about people who hold various occupations and the ups and downs of these lives. Of course, there is a wee bit of unionizing in there too, as the unions have traditionally been a preoccupation of the modern Folk movement. So, whether you're working hard or hardly working, why not hang out with the folkies for a while?
If you're wondering why the show is not live in real time, it's because I am once again spending my Labour Day Weekend doing the 3-day Novel Contest. Yes, I'm trying to write a short novel in three days! It's always fun and challenging. So, wish me luck!
Catch come by the Hills 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!
