DC Flamenco BLog Republishing Project: Unfortunately, several hundred blog entries from 2006 through 2020 were recently lost to a corrupted (hacked?) SQL database. Tragic loss! But I still have all the photos from all those years backed up on my computer and will gradually rewrite lost blog entries and republish but obviousliy this is a HUGE PROJECT and it will take time.
