I am so very sad to hear of Phil's passing.
Phil and Vivian were responsible for my lifelong pursuit and love of bluegrass and old-time music. They would drive all the way to Spokane once a month in the late 60's to play and promote fiddle music at a jam held at the Otis Orchards grange hall where I first saw them when I was an adolescent.
Their love of music was contagious and they changed my life.
