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 was psyched for the studio treatment of this song after the live debut. It had so much potential! All it needed was a bit of polishing and tightening up. Instead, they sound terribly out of key and time through the intro, they've included this ridiculous explosion sound effect, and the jam, the best part, is faded out almost as soon as they get into it! I know it's a goofy song and they're just having fun, but they could have taken it a bit more seriously, and totally knocked it out of the park. This version will grow on me with repeated listens, I'm sure, and it will be awesome live, but for now... harumph.
Also, I'm bummed that they left off "You Never Know." I really thought it would make the cut. It's such a fun track! Oh well, saving it for the next album I hope?
Again, overall, I love this album. The more confident, groovy, mellow vibes come as a welcome change to the straight ahead pop rock of 'Joy,' and the bits of Floyd and Zeppelin I'm hearing from Page are lovely
Stoked for the tour!
