This morning at around 2 AM, I was one of the first to receive my Let It Be Super Deluxe set. This set contains the Let It Be album with fresh 2021 remixes produced by Giles Martin.

Hello hello! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend! Sara Hillis here with another edition of Come by the Hills! I've decided to revisit a theme we've had before, that of the John Barleycornucopia. We'll play several different versions of this very old Folk song throughout the show, along with another new teaser from the second volume of the Joni Mitchell archives--this time a duet with James Taylor, a Folky salute to John Lennon's birthday courtesy of Judy Collins, and as usual, three hours of great Folk and Celtic music for your listening pleasure.

It’s Jonathan Mosen back with another edition of Small World, the kids’ programme for the whole family.

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 in 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.
The top 100 of 1971 continues this week. I'll start at #79 and get to #56. I'll pick it up at #55 next week.
You can contact me any time by email at steve at mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.
