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 had no interest in checking out Phish in the 90's because I loathe the Grateful Dead > the "Phish are Dead clones" thing. Since 1994 is my favorite year of Phish, I really screwed the pooch on that one! Still, I've been to some hot 2.0/3.0 shows (6/19/04, 8/7/09, 9/2/11) *and* a show as my first one that was so badly played (see: OxyTrey) that I'm surprised I came back (7/8/03).
I love the song Joy, especially the lyrics, which are partly about Trey's dying sister Kristy. I'm glad that I've heard it 3 times out of the 27 performed! :-)
Here's for a new album and more touring by Phish in 2013!
...cause this is your song too.........
