For the last two weeks, you've been helping us to make a list. So far, listeners have voted for over 300 songs in our holiday countdown. If you've not voted yet, you only have until midnight US Eastern time to cast your vote.

While our lips are sealed about the current tally, we will say that the top of the chart is very, very, very close. Your vote could be the clincher. And you know what they say, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain.

Join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades including music from before the rock era.
It's a musical mixed bag tonight: some leftover songs recorded by related people, together or separately, and lots of Christmas music including songs that Nancy and I voted for on the Mushroom FM 2018 Christmas Countdown. (Have you voted yet?)

Next week, the regular Mosen Explosion won’t be airing, as we make way for our annual, traditional Christmas party and countdown. Oh boy! Excitement abounds! Have you voted yet?

It's the fourth and final part of my look at songs recorded by related people, together or separately. Some are related by blood, others by marriage. Music will span 22 years from 1957-79.
You can contact me any time by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.

Yes, for the first time in the storied history of Come by the Hills, Mushroom Fm's premier Celtic music show will be going live, like really live, at 8:00 pM Eastern on Sunday night! Experience the excitement and unpredictability of a live show combined with the usual standard of fine folk and Celtic music you've come to expect!
