The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
"Type 3" was the label given to Phish's white-boy "pornofunk" jamming, which Trey referred to as "cowfunk." It is exemplified by Phish's funky jams, e.g., in Fall 1997 "Tubes" and "Tweezers." Its use by fans did not catch on as much as "type 1" and "type 2," presumably because its use is also very silly, and "type 3" is -- after all -- "funky type 1," or "funky type 2," depending on out of what song it occurs. (One expects "funky type 1" in songs like "Tube," "Sneakin Sally," "Boogie On," "Tweezer," and "Wolfman's," for example.) Mike, however, redefines "type 3" on his "hotline" message as part of the joke, so I figured it best to ignore it... at least until some vet brought it up.
