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've read the "songy" and "dad-rock" reviews and comments (easy now- many of us old school and new school dudes are dads now) and understand that this may not have been the paradigm for the band when you first got sucked in to this. But here we are and for me song choice or placement takes a backseat to playing that is practiced & confident and a band dynamic that is positive.
Right now it all seems a bit Taoist energetically- a slice of ballady energy inserted between two scalding guitar god numbers. While that ballad may not be my thing (or it might...), it does get me to anticipate the next rocker and appreciate it when comes- and of course its gonna come.
Onward to Vegas!
