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 can understand why people want Phish to jam an album out and make it their own, but Ziggy Stardust just isn't a good choice for that kind of thing. Much like another common Halloween request, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, this is an album that is best played close to the vest.
I agree with the idea that it is not an accident Phish chose a very song-oriented rock album and kept every song under 5 minutes. The band's new commitment to tightness, Trey's new Marshall amp, the new songwriting direction present on Big Boat....it all makes a little more sense today now that we know the Halloween album.
