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.
The musical quote you mentioned being played in 2001, although I do not know its origin, was definitely present in my favorite version of the song, 10/9/1999 in Albany. In the middle of this super-extended version, the band drops out while Mike lays down the same "quote" with his baseline. Check it out if you are so inclined.
Also, the comedy routine at set break was excellent. It was delivered, via text, with the same spot on sarcastic style as Steven Wright. What a treat!
Can't wait for the rest of the west coast shows...
