Hey folks! As the saying goes a roofers roof leaks, a mechanics personal cars never run… and people who do social media are always behind on their own stuff. After trying and trying to find a way to insert a page for News From The Mountain, it has become apparent the only way to do it was through a Blog. Isn't a Blog a bit outdated? My thinking too but hey if you want to keep up on the BIG NEWS at Black Mountain Music & Media this is the way to do it!

Look out Canada, Hiedi Hyacinth is a small package, with sass, class and a bit of bad ass!
