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.
For example - I loved the Fleezer (Finger Lakes 95 Tweezer) and the Worcester 97 Runaway Jim as they were long jams that did interesting experimental things. Same with the Lemonwheel ambient jam and the storage jam. But I found in 2.0- - with the exception of some of the "new" songs like Waves or 46 Days, the jamming was perfunctory. I think those who complain about the lack of 30 minute jams should consider that two 10 minute songs segueing is as hot, or hotter than one 20 minute jam, as the styes change up, and as in Waves-)Undermind, the segue is the best part (akin to the 'return' in Its Ice and Bowie.)
I think they still need to retire a whole wack of songs and stop depending on breakouts...YEM, Hood and Mike's are getting stale.
