In the next Mosen Explosion slot, an hour-long tribute to Kris Kristofferson

On the next edition of the Mosen Explosion, I’m paying tribute for the whole of the show to the legendary Kris Kristofferson, who died on Saturday aged 88.
Not only was Kris a gifted songwriter who wrote some beautiful poetry and could sing a bit, he was also a helicopter pilot, a Rhodes scholar, and a successful actor.
In the hour that we have available, we can merely scratch the surface in terms of the great music he composed and the legacy he has left. But it will surely be enough to whet your appetite and to encourage you to explore his music further.

Deep Dive is so excited

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the music of talented American rhythm and blues band the Pointer Sisters. We enjoy a slow hand, fire, and he's so shy.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which turns out to be 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Those pesky time zones. Just point your browser, SmartSpeaker or other listening device towards Mushroom FM and you'll find us. And once you are here stick around - we are a fun place to be.

September 28th Show

This week, on SnowWhiteFM. The Snowgirl's crazy dream. ACHOO syndrome, it's even more than something to sneeze at. There's undeniable evidence of why the Snowman was not a successful stand-up commedian, much less a sit-down one. We'll play Name That Tune, and hear more songs with people's nbames as part of the title or lyricks. It's more fun than you can possibly shake a white cane at, so don't. Instead, come spend an easy groovin' saturday evening with the Snowman, and party down, starting at 7PM eastern, on MushroomFM.com

The Early Years goes to Hell this week!

That subject should get your attention!
After you've enjoyed Decades in HD with PJ Noce tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 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.

Presenting an Encore Presentation, this Week on come by the Hills!

I'm off on a mini vacation this weekend, so this means that I will not be doing a new episode of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM. However, if you tune in on Sunday at 8:00 PM Eastern, or for the replay on Tuesday at 5:00 AM Eastern, you'll hear an episode originally broadcast on September 30, 2023. This was when the show was on Saturdays rather than on Sundays, so keep that in mind when you hear me talking about what's coming up next and such. I hope you'll enjoy this blast from the past, and I'll be back with you again live next weekend.

King Records, Part 6: 1952 this week on the Juke In the Back!

Deep Dive has got to leave old Durham town

This week we enjoy the talents and beautiful baritone voice of english singer Roger Whittaker. We hear the last farewell, mistrel, and the ske boat song.

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 in Eastern Australia. Simply croon to that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there before you can say Springfield Ohio.

It's a Folkin' Good Time, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Once again I'm here as the herald of all things folkish on Mushroom FM, so hark! will you? Come by the Hills is coming up in a few short hours, and this week, I have what promises to be an eclectic show, in which we celebrate the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins of Lord of the Rings fame with a set of Tolkien's poems that was crafted into a song-cycle by none other than Donald Swan of Flanders and Swan fame! Is this truly Folk music? Well, I suppose not, but it is a lovely thing, and I'm going to play it.
