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.
Your synopsis was very well thought-out, even if was done so on the subconscious level. Absolutely agree with every single sentence. My first Dead show was in Providence some 35 years ago and I share some of your life story. Except my wife hates Phish. I still love her even though she has no taste.
I want to say that I'm greatly impressed by the band's decision to play nada covers for the run. Yes, I miss Crosseyed & Painless and Drowned and many others, but I didn't miss them these last four nights.
Also the second set of this show could be the most entertaining set of Phish I've ever experienced. The setting, the songs, the venue.....just amazing.
Even though I couched the whole thing and couldn't be there live it was a stunning, riveting, deeply emotional experience.
I hope to thank Mike in person when I go seem him this spring at Higher Ground.
Thanks again for a terrific write-up.
