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.
It's funny...I was listening to some music from the Fall Tour '10 over the Christmas week and Trey sounded much tighter in his playing then, with far fewer flubs, yet the Type 2 just wasn't there. Don't know what it means really, except his playing is significantly sloppier these days, yet far more creative and entertaining. While I'm still jarred at times by the whale calling and pitch-shifting, as well as the constant flubs during composed sections of some of their more difficult songs (though mostly in the beginning of the compositions), I'm encouraged by the chances he's taking, the patience for his bandmates, and his overall energy and inventiveness these days. It's almost like 2003 and 1995 have merged as one.
