East End European

09/28/2020

Oh, hi!
After this happened today, I realized I can’t hide any more.

Your East End European finally got back to Provincetown despite the pandemic and had been enjoying ’s one-of-a-kind shows with superb pleasure for almost a month now.

However, when Gary played “The Joy of Lina” by Ihsan Al Munzer in his show tonight, something in this dormant radio broadcaster (me, that is) woke up, as you can tell from the video.

For those of you who are not yet familiar with Bulgarian language, here’s a rough translation:

“That’s it! I am tearing my clothes apart! I am even throwing my hat!” (an ancient Bulgarian tradition while listening to a life-changing tune on the radio).
“This is Provincetown’s radio, maina” (an honorable title, similar to “dude”, given to people born in the city of Philibelphia/Plovdiv like yours truly.) “There is no radio more glorious than ! There. Is. Not. This is an epic moment, the greatest sunset I have had on Cape Cod!“

So (as ironic as it may sound) stay tuned, fellow lovers of the sacred direction of the rising Sun! The East End European show is lurking behind the horizon after a loooong night! 🌞

How often have you had your server at a local restaurant in say he has been your intern in 6 years ago?
In the next episode of East End European I am interviewing this young Bulgarian man called Chris, whom I met when I was working at Radio KATRA FM. And since our paths crossed by chance earlier this summer, I had to bring him in the studio of WOMR. Tune in this Friday morning (Sep. 20th) at 9am to hear the whole story and much more!
