East to West World Music Songbook

Opening Music: MFSB (as always), the signature sound of East to West.
WERB 107.5 music to chill and vibe with.
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.
I’m so blessed to be with you right here, right now, to share another East to West songbook. And that’ll bring me to the thought of; what is the difference between being blessed and being lucky? Yeah, I know, those terms occasionally get interchangeable, but they have a distinct difference in their deeper meaning. I kind that of luck being typically associated with random chance, coincidence. It’s attributed to fortune – good fortune rather than bad fortune – that is outside of anybody’s control. Luck is unpredictable while being blessed implies that whatever is happening, the good fortune or the blessing, is coming in a tribute to a higher power, sort of a divine intervention. Yes, sometimes we need a bit of a bit of luck and sometimes we need some blessings. We can’t really rely on luck, it’s somewhat unreliable and mostly out of our control. I think that being blessed always involves more of a reflective and humble perspective, a gratitude of an acknowledgement that whatever is happening, is received as part of life’s larger plan.
It’s a blessing for me to share music on this program of East to West, and that’s exactly what I’m doing on every program. The blessing is my ability to continue and broadcast to all of you out there, whether they are two dozen listeners or 200 listeners, it doesn’t matter. And today’s lineup is awesome as usual. For the next two hours, join me on a journey around the world with music featuring the beloved Barbra Streisand, The Eagles, Céline Dion, and many more. You’ll hear some new stuff, old stuff, and I’ll tell you about Dionne Warwick concert. Stay with me.
