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'm a fan of Farmhouse, too. I liked it before I got obsessed with the band. It's like a lullaby for grownups.
Then there's BDTNL, which I love. Clever lyrics. Really fun to play on guitar. Nice jam at the end. Just a great, upbeat song. And more than that, to me it's symbolic of the totality of 3.0, because it was written during the period when it wasn't clear whether the band would reunite. Presumably Trey loves it so much partly because it helped bring Phish back into existence.
I'm not trying to convince anyone else to like these songs. I really don't care. I just am trying to counterbalance the imaginary "consensus" some people assume around these songs. The author of this recap describes the audience as charitably masking their distaste for these tunes. Perhaps some people actually enjoyed them?
