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.

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!

This week, the “Juke In The Back” pays our respects to one of the great record men of the 1940s and 50s; Art Rupe. Rupe passed away on April 15, 2022 at the age of 104! He started Juke Box Records in 1945, which would become Specialty Records in ’47 and go on to become one of the most important independent labels of Rhythm & Blues and early Rock n’ Roll.
