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.
Funny, I actually do find Charlie's consistency charming. Maybe comforting is a better word. For what it's worth though, and I think he might agree, his business here isn't so much in music writing as it is in efficient recapping. For those of us that <i> can't</i> (or aren't interested in) listening to every minute of record Phish, it's nice to have someone whose tastes you can even remotely trust to provide a "i recommend this / move along, nothing to see here" guide post-tour.
We all know you're better writer, Wally. And I trust your tastes at least as much as his. (Dare I say that the tend to overlap more often than not?) But your level of dedication towards the common fan in this regard is at best suspect!
And 6/4 is the one suggested highlight tour I haven't yet heard. Will spin it today. In Charlie's honour, though, can I recommend the 11/12/94 Kent State Hood that I spun yesterday? Pretty nice that one, too.
