Deep Dive learns that love is just a four-letter word

This week on Deep Dive, through an archive programme, we enjoy the wonderful voice and outstanding lyrics of American folk singer Joan Baez. We hear about the night they drove old Dixie down, long for Jesse and decide that it ain't me babe.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 8 AM Tuesday in much of Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 10 PM in the same parts of Eastern Australia. If you have a smart speaker, and you tell it to play Mushroom FM, it will whisk you there in a nanosecond, or sometimes just a little bit longer.

Dathlu Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant, Wythnos'ma are Dewch Wrth y Bryniau! (Celebrating St. David's Day, this week on Come by the Hills!)

Yes, it's time once again to get thoroughly Welshified on the Folk and Celtic music show, because March 1 is St. David's Day, Wales's major national festival! We'll hear many lovely songs yn Cymraeg (in Welsh) with a few English ones thrown in for good measure, so I hope you'll join me. We'll keep a welcome for you, to be sure!

So, catch Come by the Hils live on Saturday at 2:00 PM Eastern, or check out the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern! Whenever you can listen, I hope you'll enjoy it! Dydd gwyl Dewi Sant! (Happy St. David's Day!)

So Many Unanswered Questions on The Song Remembers When

Have you ever wondered who wrote the book of love, where do broken hearts go, if this is love, or just wh? Then you will enjoy hearing all of these questions asked musically on The Song Remembers When. Tune in at 4 pm Eastern this Sunday, March 3, (and, seriously, my question is how on Earth is it March already?) I will bring you songs that ask questions in their titles. I'm sure I will play songs that bring back memories for you, and possibly a few songs you've never heard before. Can't join me on Sunday? No problem!

Lucky Millinder this week on The Juke In The Back!

Deep Dive meets the devil inside

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the rock music of Australian band Inxs. We commit original sin, kick, and say don't change.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which in this round world in which we live is 8 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday which is 10 PM in Eastern Australia. Simply advise that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and, because it is so smart, it will do so almost immediately. They are good that way.

Taking Names, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Yes, today's the day for another awesome episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM. This week, I'll be playing songs with names in them. We'll have some songs about John or Jack, some songs about Jenny, at least one song about a redheaded Anne, and several songs about Robin, not to mention a couple of williams. We'll also do some dreaming and hear some lovely harp music. I hope you can join me!
