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.
When I first heard Phish it was 2009 and they had just gotten back together. At that time the only bands I listened to were The Grateful Dead (favorite era still late 70's, but learning to love the Brent era), The Allman Brother's Band, and a lot of Bob Dylan.
[honestly, my parents thought I was a freak for listening to only 1960-1970's music]
Then I heard Phish and it changed my life. I think I first heard them of Jam On radio station during one of their "Gone Phishin'" segments. Listened to an entire set and was hooked. The next week I bought my Phisheroo '09 ticket and never looked back....
It is unfortunate that I never saw the Grateful Dead but as I'm rocking to 12/31/77 this morning (sugar> scarlet> fire, truckin' is fuckin rockin') I know that no matter what, in this community, the music never stops, it never dies. EVER. Hope all you older folks know how lucky you are. I am lucky too, because there is still music that moves me playing all across the country
