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.
Now my two cents: I feel Sand is getting the short shrift a bit here. I disagree considerably with the 6/8 Sand being average. It's short, no doubt about it ... but it's one of the first times I heard the band open up the song in a way that gave them a lot of room to move, rather suddenly, and it set the tone for a tour of strong versions. Trey plays with a ton of effortless dexterity, it's groovy, fun, and the segue into Nellie Kane is A+. I also think the 7/3 version takes it a step further, and I'd give the tour highlight to the 7/3 Sand> Golden Age combo. I only caught 6/7 and 6/8, but I've heard the whole tour, and my vote for best show overall is 7/3 (great Antelope!)
