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.
Is it a renaissance of sorts? "Everything old is new again", perhaps? The under-representation of songs Round Room and Undermind is probably due to the simple fact that they didn't have as much time together with that material prior to the break-up as they did with everything previous. Meanwhile, songs from The White Tape are probably seared into the boys' cerebella. And playing music that just gels instantly must be super-fun for them.
Sure I'd like to hear some more 2.0 material in the rotation. When and if they feel ready to really approach that stuff, I trust they will.
I've always got a bucket handy to carry my face back to the lot after the show...
