Johnny Cunningham was one of the great modern folk fiddlers and founding member of Silly Wizard. I came to know and appreciate him only after his death, but was deeply moved by the stories I heard about him. I made my first (and so far only) tribute video using the song "King Neptune," written and performed by Casey Neill, a local folk singer and composer who had worked with Johnny. Yesterday, Casey found my video and left this comment: "Thank you for making this. It means the world. Should be noted that that's Phil Cunningham on piano and accordion. Miss him so." I was overwhelmed that he had seen and was grateful for what I had done with his music. And yes, I added the information about Phil (Johnny's brother) to the info about the video.
