Following our recent successful charity auction of an original copy of the out-of-print, hard-to-find, third edition of The Phish Companion, Mockingbird Foundation supporter Anthony Bonanno contacted us offering his copy, still in the original box, all in great shape, which we are now auctioning on Ebay to help us raise additional funds for music education and help fund a brand new thing we'll be announcing mid-January. Past copies have gone for up to $900 in auctions, though we've started bidding at only $125, and both welcome and appreciate your generous support. This 10-day auction is open now, and closes 7:30 pm EST on Tuesday, January 6th.
Mockingbird is an entirely volunteer 501c3 nonprofit, founded and managed entirely by fans, fundraising for music education for children. We've made over 766 grants so far, totaling more than $2.8M, in all 50 states, funded entirely by projects such as this book. We appreciate your generous support, in helping put instruments in the hands of children nationwide, as well as giving them the equipment, sheet music, and instruction they need to gain access to the liberating and enlightening power of music.
About the book.... "Completists will get lost in thousands of freshly-manicured setlists, song histories, and charts. Prose junkies will binge on hundreds of evocative show reviews and fan stories. Photophiles will gape at 128 pages of dazzling Phish photography - most of which has never been published. And poster collectors, get ready: The Phish Companion's eight chapters are anchored by stunning original works from Welker, Masthay, Helton, and more - each of whom was commissioned to interpret a period of Phish."

The Mockingbird FoundationThe 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.
