Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know that while Come by the Hills will not be live once again this week due to yet more family celebrations, it will be an encore presentation that celebrates a very special birthday! No, it's not the guy with all the tanks. It's one of our long-time listeners, Marci! This show comes from June 14, 2020, when we were all feeling lonely and locked down, and Marci sent a very kind email to ask if I could play a song for her on the occasion of her birthday. I chose more than one song, and as I recall, it was a fun show!

I'm Jonathan Mosen, and on Thursday at 2 AM Eastern, repeated at 2 PM Eastern, I am deeply honored, incredibly grateful, and profoundly sad to bring you a tribute to Brian Wilson, the musical and production genius behind the Beach Boys, who has died just short of his 83rd birthday.

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.
This week, the "Juke In The Back" is proud to honor the late, great Johnny Otis. He was a true renaissance man. Otis was a singer, songwriter, drummer, bandleader, talent scout, record label owner and radio/TV show host and that's not everything he did.

After you've enjoyed The Mosen explosion with Jonathan Mosen this 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 occasional nods to other decades and genres.
All the music this week is from the first quarter century of rock as I will continue the theme I began May 7 on my return show, long songs. You'll hear songs from October 1968 to May 1969. This is part 5 of what will be many parts.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the excellent talent of US singer Whitney Houston. We ask where do broken hearts go, how will I know, and hear about the greatest love of all.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM on the same day in Eastern Australia. Simply tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there faster than a Trump Musk insult on social media.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you that once again, I have an encore presentation for you on Come by the Hills. I'm unable to do a live show this week, so I thought I'd replay our tribute to Peter Yarrow which was originally broadcast on January 12th, 2025. If you listen, you will discover the origin of "keep your dragons safe," a line I often use to close out the show. So, in light of the military parade through Washington D.C.
