Oh by all means, Alan, blow your own horn! The DanceData database is
wonderful and I am not sure how I managed with my
from-memory-hunt-and-peck-system prior to setting it up. Highly
recommended. Alan (and all of his supporters) did a fabulous job in
setting up the database, verifying its contents, and ensuring its ease
of use.

An article on the updated Ramsay Index, the contents of which are merged
with DanceData, appears in the current issue of TACTalk. (Which is late
due to unavoidable matters in the editor's personal life and to a major
change in printing and posting arrangements).
