Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's lad-and-lass-laden edition of come by the Hills! My lovely little black Labrador guide dog, Aladdin, the lad with a lad in his name, is turning nine on Saturday, so we will hear lots of songs about lads and, to be fair, some lasses as well. We'll maybe throw in a couple of songs about dogs, and we'll generally have a great time!

Tune in to Come by the Hills live on Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern, or catch the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern. However and whenever you listen, enjoy! And oh yes. Happy birthday, Aladdin!

Hello! Sara Hillis here again to let you in on what's coming up on this week's iminetly impending installment of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic Music show! We've got songs about coming and going in the first hour, a few songs about staying and leaving in the second hour, and songs about weddings, valleys, and a few songs from some of the "Rough Guide" albums along the way. So why not hang out with me for a few hours if you have the chance?

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to share with you what's coming up on this week's exciting and fun edition of Come by the Hills. In the first hour, we've got songs about mothers in honour of Mother's Day here in North America, and later on, we've got some Mary Black, Leonard Cohen, Stan Rogers, The High Kings and much more! So why not hang out with us? Forget the Blue Jays and their double-header, or join it late. It'll still be there when we're done. *smile*

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's in store on this week's iminent and impending edition of Come by the Hills! It's almost May Day, so we'll be playing songs about Maying, may poles and the like, as well as songs about spring and fertility, and even cuckoos! Also, we're going to dedicate this week's show to the memory of John Rae, an amazing advocate and activist for Canada's blind community and also a listener. He passed away suddenly on April 8th, and I wanted to wait till I had the time to do a good show for him.

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's in store for this week on Come by the Hills. Due to a rather busy schedule for me this weekend, I'm presenting an encore presentation of our Paddy Molomey tribute episode from October 16, 2021. This episode was in the replay slot for this past Tuesday because of the We're With U concert which was in our usual Saturday slot last week, and it will be there again because of my schedule for this week.

Well, today's the day! We're With U, the virtual concert in support of blind Ukrainians, starts in just a few short hours at 2:00 PM Eastern. This means that there will be no Come by the Hills in its original time slot. However, where the replay should go, we'll have something from the archives from October 16, 2021. It will be our tribute to Paddy Moloney of the chieftains.

So, be sure to catch We're With U today at 2:00 PM Eastern, and check out Come by the Hills on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern! Please give what you can to support the We're With U cause!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's coming up this week on Come by the Hills! This time, it's an encore presentation (which is just a snobbish way of saying rerun) of this year's Robby Burns Day special. So there'll be lots of scottish tunes and tales for your enjoyment! I hope you will find it fun while I deal with this very obnoxious weather-related headache that has descended upon me over the past few days, and I thank you for your patience and indulgence!

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show.

Whether you're a first-time or a long-time listener, I promise there'll be something that tickles your musical fancy. So come hang out with me on the Mighty Mushroom!

Hello! Sara Hillis here to let you know what's coming up on the next edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's Folk and Celtic music show. This week, I've got a few left-overs from Saint Patrick's Day, a salute to the Oscars with some songs from Titanic, a rather unique "Celtic Cover," and a whole lot more! Also, we're live again! Yay! So come hang out with me and listen to some great Folk music, if you have a mind!

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...
