Hello! Sara Hillis popping in early again this week because I'm so excited to tell you about this coming Sunday's edition of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show, on Mushroom FM! It's time once again for our annual tribute to Stan Rogers. I think of this show as the one that really put Come by the Hills on the map when I first did a version of it in 2017. It struck a chord with so many people that I decided to do it every year since. This will be the tenth year, and I hope you'll join me!
The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with nods to other decades and genres.
This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the music of talented Australian group the BG's. We meet more than a woman, hear about spicks and specks, and do some jive talkin'.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is Tuesday morning in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is Wednesday night in Eastern Australia. Tuning in is easy! Just ask that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there faster than a little Jive Talkin'.

On May 15, the weekday the show replays this week, Nancy and I will celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. To honour the day in 1971 when Nancy made me the happiest young man in the world, I'll play songs appropriate for the occasion from 1944 to 1981.
