Aloha Richard, I want to send you a huuuge mahalo for your involvement in the Hawai'i Songwriting Festival over the years! Thank you for believing in us and helping us believe in ourselves. Thanks to you, the HSF 'Ohana has been fortunate to connect and inspire hundreds of songwriters. There is so much wonderful music in the world as a direct result of your generosity and support of our organization. Every time I see you at HSF, you have a huge smile on your face - your joy and warmth are infectious and we will always carry that with us. We are honored to say that HSF is part of your legacy, infused with your welcoming spirit, sense of adventure (and a little mischief!), and genuine love and appreciation for the incredible creativity that surround us. Here is a link to a Spotify playlist made by one of our attendees, it features a ton of music by various members of the HSF 'Ohana and is a wonderful, eclectic mix I think you'll enjoy (:
With gratitude and love to you and your 'ohana, Julia (and Charles, Joanie, Adam, and little Owen and Mazie)
