It's Saint Patrick's Day, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that we are celebrating Saint Patrick's Day on this week's episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk an Celtic music show here on Mushroom FM. Unfortunately, though I had intended it to be a live show this week, I had a rather bad night for sleeping last night and I'm not feeling too well as a result, so this show will be pre-recorded. However, there will be lots of great Irish-themed music for you to sink your ears into, (hmmm...

We're Springing Forward, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show! Since much of North America is springing forward this weekend into Daylight Saving Time, I thought we'd play some songs about time and some songs about spring this week. It may be snowy and windy outside my window today, but I know that some more springlike temperatures are in the offing for the week ahead. So, even though it isn't officially spring yet, I've decided to celebrate it anyway.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's episode of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. This time, it's all about Saint David's Day and all things Welsh.

The show isn't live today, but I'm with you in spirit through the miracles of modern technology.

We're Celebrating the Birthday of One of my Favourite Artists, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's iminent and impending episode of Come by the Hills! Today, as well as playing some other very cool tunes, we'll be featuring some songs by one of my very favourite Canadian musicians, Loreena McKennitt. It was her birthday on Thursday, so I thought it would be nice to spend a little time with her, musically speaking, throughout the show. If you have any requests for Loreena's music, feel free to send them in via Email or Twitter.

It's Love or Something Like It, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Lots to Listen to, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic Music show here on Mushroom FM. It's another grab-bag of goodies, including a Stan Rogers song which I for one had never heard till today. I'm also sick of hearing truck-horns blaring over the newscasts I listen to lately, so I thought I'd play a couple of vintage protest songs. I think that's what protests nowadays are missing: a good sing-along! Seriously though, I hope this show is a cure for whatever February blahs might be yours at this moment. I know it helps me.

Mini-themes, Me Music Moved and More, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic Music show. Every once in a while, I like to program mini-themes, which are groups of songs that are somehow related. This week, I've got songs about highways and highwaymen, hills, roads, flying and much more! We'll hear a Leonard Cohen classic, move the "Me Music" feature back to where it used to be in the first hour of the show, and generally have a great time.

It's Robby Burns and All Things Scottish, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Yes, it's almost that time of January again, time to dust off the kilts and dig into the Haggis and celebrate the man whose poetry and song have made Scotland famous the world over. Yes, it's Robby Burns Day on January 25, so we're doing our usual celebrations this week on Come by the Hills. Known as the peasant poet, Robert Burns wrote poetry about love, nature, politics and many other aspects of Scottish life as he knew it.
