Talking Vision 607 Week Beginning 3rd January 2022

Welcome to this special World Braille Day episode of Talking Vision, to start off this week you'll hear a small excerpt from a piece of music called “Follow Me”, a favourite of listeners from past years which comes to us from the annual braille music camp, taking place in Mittagong in New South Wales for both young students and seasoned veterans of braille music alike across Australia. We have an all-braille program lined up today in celebration of World Braille Day, which marks the anniversary of the birth of the inventor of braille, Louis Braille, every 4th of January. You may remember back in 2020 Stella Glorie caught up with Jordie Howell and Micala Schmidt to talk all things braille music, that interview is coming up later in the show, but first Sam catches up with avid braille reader Tess Herbert, who talks about the highlights and challenges of reading as someone who is totally blind, and to finish up today we feature another popular favourite song from the annual Braille Music Camp, "How Lovely are the Messengers".Support this Vision Australia Radio program: https://www.visionaustralia.org/donate?src=radio&type=0&_ga=2.182040610.46191917.1644183916-1718358749.1627963141See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
