Welcome my friends and listeners to yet another program of East to West Songbook. As I sit here tonight and spin – so to speak – these chilled and global grooves have reminded me of how far I have come since the very first broadcast of East to West. Yeah, it was the end of 2020, a challenging time. The world was hit by COVID and was running wild. No vaccine in sight and uncertainty hung in the air like a fog. That’s when the idea for this program was born.

My partner PJ mentioned that a Nashville, NC, station that he’s working with, is looking for new shows. It wasn’t a paid gig, but I jumped off the chance and after a quick interview and submitting a sample, I was over the choice of time slot. I chose Wednesday, 5:00 to 7:00 PM. And let me tell you, I was ecstatic, beyond excited. This was not about money. This was about my passion, about finding an outlet for my creative soul. And so, at the end of the summer four years ago, East to West made its initial, inaugural broadcast.

Now, I’ll admit the road hasn’t been smooth, and I was eventually let go from that station. But that’s a story for another time. What stayed consistent over all these four years is the essence of the show, exploring the rhythm and melodies of the world. Bridging cultures through music. After all, it’s our universal language. The delivery has evolved. It’s more refined now. More laid back and tonight’s tunes reflect just that. Music to unwind, music to connect with, music to relax. That said, I’ve got some great music coming up I’m sure you’re going to enjoy featuring the dynamic Dua Lipa, Barbara Streisand, Norah Jones, and many more. So, wherever you are listening from, sit back, relax. No seat belt is necessary. Enjoy the journey from East to West.

Stay with me.
