Thank you for including me in the SoundSwell project. I am proud to be a part of the local music of Santa Cruz and now part of the library. I performed frequently in Santa Cruz for twenty years, and now physical limitations keep my opportunities to occasional. I'm glad there is another way to get my music out to the community. Yours Truly, Billy "Hawk" Epstein
