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.
Not being much of a Bowie fan (my bad) I was nonplussed last night, but not so much by the selection as by them choosing to cover another band's album, 3 years after saying they were done with that; it didn't interest them any more. Of course, Phish has the right to change their (its?) mind, but after witnessing in awe the creative juggernaut of Halloween 2014, I somehow expected every Halloween to be a new, original masterpiece conceived and rehearsed in total secrecy.
Unrealistic I know, and Ziggy is a great album that was played (and sung!) beautifully. I never knew Trey could sing like that; I was nearly in tears! He's been dominant on guitar lately, so I don't think there's any sense to reading the tea leaves about him putting down the guitar for marimba lumina or whatnot, but I guess vets like to worry...
