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! I'd be all over your tour-recaps as well.
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.
