Affter you've enjoyed the Saturday debut of 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 enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.

Hi there! Sara Hillis here, popping round to tell you all the exciting stuff that I'll have for you on the first ever Saturday episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic Music show. We'll journey to Galway, Dublin and Belfast, spend some time with Nancy and John, hear some songs about love and others about fair maids, and we'll visit with Joni Mitchell and wander down the road a while. If all this seems as clear as mud, you'll want to tune in live on Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern to find out what all the fuss is about.

Last weekend, Marion and I took a trip out to a little town called Stanthorpe. While there, we checked out the Truffle Discovery Centre, and learned more about truffles than we'd ever thought to ask, so I'd like to tell you about the trip and share what we learned. We also visited the herritage museum and found lots of cool stuff from days gone by.

Hi there to all our fabulous fun guy family members.
on this upcoming addition of a little bit of this and a little bit of that I have something special for you.
I realised that one week ago marked a whole year since I started having so much fun behind the microphone here at Mushroom FM.
So in honour of celebrating my one year mark, I am running a replay of a show I done in April.
it was a show that gave me so much happiness and it was a lot of fun putting it together just for you.
Every great song you will here, tells a story of some sort.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the rich motown sounds of Gladys Knight and the pips. We see clearly now, learn about part-time love, and, yes, catch the midnight train to Georgia. And we learn how they got the pip.

To find out, tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Ask your SmartThing for Mushroom FM and you just be there.

Hello one and hello all! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's happening this week on Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic music show, known affectionately as Come by the Hills. We'll have a few Canada Day left-overs as well as a special birthday request, and a lot of great music for your enjoyment as usual. We'll also be celebrating the end of an era, because we're changing things up here in Sara-land. Yes, to save my Sundays and my sanity (what little there is to be saved of course,) Come by the Hills is moving!
