Following Curmudgeon's link and Kathy Westra's directions just below it, here's a Johnny and Phil story I sent to John's website:

Many years ago, Silly Wizard played a concert for Old Songs, near Albany, NY, at the old place, a deconsecrated church with great acoustics and puritan pews. Vaughn and I took our young sons, Pete and Nathaniel (then probably aged 8 and 10 years). The boys loved the concert, and charged up front to meet the band afterward. Whether it was Phil or Johnny I don't now remember,but one of the Cunningham brothers pulled out a Scottish coin. Realizing he had only one, he called to his brother,who - with barely a word said - pulled out and tossed another across the stage apron...one for each of the Ward brothers.

It was such a right, generous and spontaneous thing to do, we never forgot it. And I've wondered - as it happened so fast and so easily - if someone had done as much for John and Phil, if they were passing something on.

That and a love of the power of music.

Godspeed then, John. And our condolences to you all.    - George Ward
