We are home. All is well.
I promised some videos. I am not uploading them to the blog, but here are the links and some explanations.
David Geaney is a five time world champion Irish dancer. See story here. He danced at his father’s pub, the Dingle Pub, and we were in the first row. I took two videos. One short and one long. The short one is of him and a friend dancing. David is in the white shirt. The long video is really pretty good and worth watching (imho). The problem with these two videos is that I created them in portrait mode. Video players (VLC, Windows Media Player, Quick Time) all play them in landscape mode, so you have to turn your head or the computer sideways to enjoy them. Stupid, but true. So I converted the videos so they would play properly. BUT the blog software thinks the files are corrupt and won’t play them. SO, do this:
RIGHT CLICK on the files and then click “Save link as”. Save them to your desktop or to a directory. Then double click them from there. They should play properly in Windows Media Player, Quick Time, or VLC. After watching, you can delete the files.

Here are a couple of other videos. These should play properly within the blog by just clicking on them.
(This was taken in O’Flaherty’s Pub in Dingle. It shows Fergus O’Flaherty, the owner, and his sister playing Dingle Bay.) GOOD MUSIC!

David is Ireland’s answer to Savion Glover. All videos played beautifully on the iPad. No need to paste or twist one’s neck Just click and enjoy. Nice, Joe!
The above comment is really from Fred’s wife, Jane, who used Fred’s iPad which has larger screen than her mini! 🙂
