Yes, Come by the hills is back for another week, and in our "Celtic Covers" feature, we'll be exploring the ballad of The Cruel Sister. We'll explore the more mythical version of the song which involves transformation and other interesting things, and we'll play a version by Old Blind Dogs and another song based on that ballad by Loreena McKennitt called The Bonnie Swans. We've also got a bit of a musical education for you in "Fiddlin' Around," and lots of great music from amazing artists as always.

Who’d have thunk it!

The New Year's Eve edition of The Early Years, tonight at 6 PM Eastern, replayed Wednesday morning at 7 AM Eastern, is a special one that I really enjoyed putting together. You will hear the number one song for each year from 1950 to 1970. I'll also salute Canada as our Sesquicentennial year draws to a close and remember the Best Picture from 1961 that everyone should see.
