Hey, Franki-boy Krygowski, where are those seasonal workers fromDonegal you promised to prove?
So, Franki-boy, why didn't you offer the relevant references on day one? We might suspect that you're trolling by withholding relevant references in the hope of making a little storm in a passport into a mountain. That's genuinely scummy, but no more slimy than we expect from you on a daily basis.
In any event, I want to see the references on which your sources relied to prove that Donegal peasants in particular went all the way to Scotland. Post them at your earliest convenience. I bet, when I have these references, I'll discover that they're contradicted by more modern research, which concludes the same as I did: Donegallers had no reason to go any further than into the Plantation to find seasonal work -- and pick up Scottish fiddling methods. Who paid to transport them all the way from Donegal to Scotland and back again? You make so little sense, it comes as no surprise to discover that your references, when at long last we see them, make as little sense as you do..

Because of the historical connection with Scotland - seasonal migrations were common to southeastern Scotland - there is also a strong Scots influence such as single-stroke bowing, a strong staccato that indicates the influence of the bagpipe, and an overall forceful and driving attack." About five minutes of browsing yields, from p. 120, _The Northern Fiddler_, A. Feldman & E. O'Doherty: "At the end of the nineteenth century, which was the period in which most of the fiddlers we met were born, South-west Donegal was a region of severe poverty. ... It was virtually a moneyless society, dependent on a good drop of potatoes, the presence of offshore herring, and the demand for migratory labour in Scotland for its economic continuity." I could find more citations, but they won't affect the trolling. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Can you not connect the phone to your radio via Bluetooth? Have you not replaced that old stock radio yet? Besides Bluetooth you can get HD Radio. |

I thought everything these days was online, streaming, eBooks, or Zoom lectures. Hint: It runs Android 10. It cost me $75 including tacks and shipping on eBay. Verizon pulled the plug on my LG VX-8300 dumb phone without warning, and wouldn't activate any of my other ancient phones. So I bought the first phone that looked reasonable. AccuBattery Pro says that the battery is half dead, which was initially a problem until I turned off polling for email every few minutes. With polling and digital data turned off, it runs about 24 hr with light use. Unfortunately, the local LTE site in Ben Lomond is broken. It works just fine with any other LTE site, but not the one at the BL fire department. When I complain to Page Plus, they say call Verizon. When I complain to Verizon, they say I'm not their customer, and politely ask me not to bother them. I may need to switch to T-Mobile in order to get service in downtown BL. Other than that, the Pixel 1 has been just fine for the previous 10 months. I also bought one for my neighbor that has a better battery. I'll shortly be looking into buying a Lenovo Motorola Moto G Power phone as a present to myself for closing the office and half-way retiring. The phone seems ok, but I'm not so thrilled about Lenovo service and support. https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones-moto-g-power/p Of course, it needed a suitable ring tone. I soon discovered that on the original Pixel 1, the maximum ringer volume was barely sufficient to be heard over the road noise, and totally lost if the car radio was playing. Can you not connect the phone to your radio via Bluetooth? Have you not replaced that old stock radio yet? Besides Bluetooth you can get HD Radio. Bluetooth was still on the drawing board when my 2001 Subaru Forester was manufactured. There's no easy way to add external audio. I've though of doing that, but found it easier to buy a used EcoCarbon Bluetooth speaker with built in speakerphone. https://ecoxgear.com/shop/ecocarbon/ When the phone rings, the streaming (stored) music from my Pixel 1 phone stops, and is replaced by some noises that are suppose to imitate a phone ringing. So far, it's been acceptable. The audio quality seems to be better from the Subaru speakers. The only problem so far is remembering to turn on the BT speakers and finding the phone pickup button in the dark while not watching where I'm driving. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Read the headline, Dingleberry. Frank-boy is claiming seasonal workers from *Donegal*, specifically. I've already put him down for generic handwaving. And here you are, generically handwaving about seasonal Irish workers, who were in the time and place, very unlikely ever to return to Ireland, never mind return annually. How would they have saved the passage on what harvesting paid? You're an idiot non pareil, Peter Howard, aka news18. How would the starving families in the Gap of Dunlop which I was talking about the first time you tried your silly handwaving about seasonal workers have come by the money for passage even to England? Show us "seasonal workers" leaving from *and returning to* Donegal, and we'll take you seriously. Until you can do that, leave economic history to people with brains. You're a stupid waste of oxygen.

I haven't mentioned that I knew it happened from family history as multiple lines came from Ireland. On more relevant bicycle information, two of my lines rode bicycles together to take part in the ballot for the opening up of Leeton, NSW, Australia and the information didn't come out until a chance comment was passed years later. |

I live in the Santa Cruz mountains of Californai and listen mostly to classical music in the car. There are 3 classical stations within range for regular FM broadcasting, and 2 more on HD Radio sub-channels. Because of the mountains causing reflections and presenting obstructions, reception is marginal on regular FM, and dismal on the HD Radio sub-channels. In other words, it's not worth the effort listening to OTA (over the air) music in my area. I wouldn't mind streaming Pandora in the car, but I don't want to pay for the bandwidth, or switch phone vendor to T-Mobile to get free audio streaming as part of the plan: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/unlimited-music-streaming-with-music-freedom For now, I have a 128GB flash drive that is crammed full of digitized music that I plug into my Pixel 1 phone with a USB-OTG cable. While a bit clumsy, the lack of commercial advertising and talking heads makes this scheme quite attractive to me. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
