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.
i attended the the AC shows and my first halloween show with Phish was a most refreshing music experience. i do not understand who the people are who might be complaining a lot because i do not read the forums, but everyone i have encountered in person with whom i discussed Wingsuit shared positive feedback. i was there and i could feel some magic. everyone i have talked with about Wingsuit has at least two new song favorites.
since the halloween show, i have listened to Wingsuit as a record, as a whole, at least once each day. i love it. perhaps some people are mostly comfortable with the familiar and going to a new unexplored space is a conceptual stretch... i don't know.
i do not hear the comments from Trey and Fishman as anything other than vast appreciation of a great an attentive audience. i love Wingsuit and i am looking forward to the release of the studio recording in it's completion. i am also looking forward to the future with Phish and Wingsuit was a literal turn in that direction.
artists have to do what inspires them most at a given time. they cannot force themselves to follow a tradition for the sake of following tradition because it will come off as hollow. it seemed to me that the band Phish was very inspired with some new compositions they are working with and it was appropriately conceptual to release these songs for us on halloween, rather than spend their time before the shows learning and practicing someone else's music.
i was not disappointed. not at all. it was a happy halloween - in my world.
