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.
Tahoe is an obvious high water mark, an absolute masterpiece of spontaneous compositon that stands up to damn near anything the band has ever done, but it's part of a tour where the band seemed to fall back into some old patterns that - for me at least- brought on a twinge of disappointment as often as a rush of nostalgic excitement.
This fall seemed like a good course correction after a summer that was my least favorite tour since summer 2010, but then Texas pops up and messes up the narrative for awhile the same way it did last year. Hopefully the recovery is just as triumphant this time!
