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.
Especially loved the observations of the beginning of set 2; both the notation of the band missing Trey's cue (which happens often, but Trey always gets blamed for it), and especially the musical scale progression noted on Tweezer. This is really excellent because it highlights the subtley of Phish at this point in their career.
Miles Davis once was quoted as saying that his favorite Santana song was Incident at Neshabur, because (as he said), the whole song is built upon two chords, yet is layered in such a way with the scale progression that it sounds much more complex. Sometimes, he continued on, you can do that, but it's hard to accomplish.
Underneath the arena-rock anthemic jams we've enjoyed this year, that some dismiss as simplistic and lacking originality, is a subtlety of musicianship that passes by the average listener without displeasing them.
Sorry, didn't mean to get into all that. Just wanted to say nice job!
