Mike at The Irish Roots Cafe Today
News and Updates
First, our Irish house band live online show.
Let’s see, we went live online on Sunday
and the video song show went well. A few
computers out there were too old to handle
the video, and a Dublin time change threw
things off for some.
Time Zones
Never realized how important it is to be
aware of EDT and EST…etc. Daylight Savings
Time and Standard Time differences. When you
are broadcasting world-wide, it requires some
attention.
Live Worldwide
We used Concertwindow.com, and got live
comments on the screen from Chris in Australia/
Tony in Dublin, Ireland, and several states
in the U.S.. We figured out how to fit 3 people
on my computer screen (myself, Stevie, and Rob).
The Songs
All of my songs on this first show were in Irish,
including, Si do mhaimeo i, Oro Se, Cunnla, and
a few more. Stevie did her ‘Bean Phaidin’ in Irish
and backed me up on a few. Rob, came in with
guitar on a few as well. Hope you can tune in
for the next show… Send in your requests.
Irish Genealogy Books
I’ve just reprinted “County Mayo, Genealogy
and Family History notes
” with the full
color county map on the front cover. So, that
book is back in print in color.
Going out of print
I only have 10 copies or less of these two hardbound books
Families of County Cork, Ireland
Families of County Kerry, Ireland
My DNA Test
I am expecting the return of my DNA test to come
back this week. It will be interesting. I have joined
our own ‘Irish Families’ project group, which may
have matches in it already for my O’Laughlin and
Donahue lines. Will keep you posted as I go along here
