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.
The genesis of the nickname seems to make sense, as people weren't into this random 3 minute songlet that popped up incessantly in 95
But once they expanded it for the first time at Melkweg, it probably should have lost the stigma, no?
I guess I just don't get why it seems less popular than Bug, despite them having relatively identical jams and Bug having lyrics that were probably written the same day as Sand and Jennifer Dances... AKA: The least inspired day Trey ever had where he still wrote 3 songs!
I kid i kid.. Kinda.
I'll always be a Caspian fan. Trey has done some excellent noisy/textural solos in it, and Page is always doing something gorgeous.
