Welcome to our listeners globally and Coast to Coast in the US. You are at the right URL WERB radio.com, at the right time. And you are on another program of East to West, and this is Eitan Battat.
Hello, my friends and loyal listeners, so happy you join me for one more program of East to West songbook.
I look around and see all the pain and suffering, all the wars that’s going on and that’s on top of our own stress and anxiety; on a daily basis our own grief and trial mind fears and everything else. Yes, my dear listeners, the world is in chaos, never mind the elections that are coming up. I talked about feeling bad about feeling good and I personally go through those up and down so many times on a weekly basis. Sometimes daily I feel guilty that I’m sad and then I feel guilty that I’m not sad. Yes, there’s a lot of suffering and pain all over, then I start feeling guilty for feeling guilty, and then feeling guilty for not feeling guilty, and then I get into that vicious circle. And then people who are not really encouraging; what they say is that it’s not the right time really, it’s not the right time to travel and it’s dangerous, it’s not the right time to go to dinner we don’t know what the economy is going to be like, it’s not the right time for this, it’s not the right time for that. It’s not the right time to be discouraged or sad, that’s what I say, and I’ll tell you it’s not the right time to say it’s not the right time.
We all need some kind of a mental break, some kind of an escape, a solace so to speak at the end of the day. It’s all a question of balance. I don’t know what’s your solace what’s your escape, but you gotta find one. For me it’s this program. Being here for two hours sharing music is my refuge; it’s my escape. That said, I’ve got some great music coming up I’m sure you’re going to enjoy featuring the fabulous John Lennon, Billie Eilish, Amy Winehouse, and many more. So sit back, relax, and take a journey from East to West, North to South, not necessarily in that order.
