Milk worms, silkworms, and webs - oh my!

It was a Silkworm September. From Chicago to Northern Ireland, where are we now? Some find it amazing we get out much at all.

This week on Outlook - sister/co-host Kerry’s recovering from another sickness and makes good use of the “mute” button, brother/co-host Brian is raving about his double Silkworm dream trip, and BF (3rd co-host Barry) he’s researching all the things transplant patients can’t take for symptom relief.

For this Mixed Bag episode, Brian’s sharing about his latest travel stories and adventures of music community gathering together in Chicago. He’s making new friends, having merch made truly accessible and inclusive, and sharing a few clips of the songs that brought him to the States to begin with, for the second time this year.

Kerry’s back with Barry, in his flat, and on the sofa with guide dog Oyster as Barry relays a recent dreadful story, as September moves into October’s Blindness Awareness Month, of the truly taxing and trying horror of being manhandled by ignorant people in public and community spaces who put their hands on you first and ask questions “never."

As we go into BAM (as we call it) there’s very little “awareness” of Blindness by the public. As the saying goes: when someone closes a door, they close another, and put up a sign which helps no blind person ever.

September is also Pain Awareness Month, on the last day of September it’s the National Day For Truth and Reconciliation, and we’re here for all of it with music for our final show for our Outlook anniversary month as we talk church acoustics, assault, doubling down, and much much more.

The Silkworm and Dianogah music featured in this episode was lifted from the following videos:
