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.
But at the same time, it doesn't inspire me to want to listen to Coventry. Without the emotional context that the author and other Coventry attendees have, I just don't think it would resonate with me, not even the "good parts." I just don't have the frame of reference to appreciate it. I can't see any reason to listen to this instead of something like 10/31/96, a great show that I attended and that has nothing but positive associations attached to it.
I am very happy that Phish is playing so well right now, so the good news is that the story has a different, happier ending. It would really be a shame if Coventry was the last show Phish ever played.
