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'm not a Bug guy in general, but it could definitely arise from spacey jamming, or close a set or encore with some melancholic pyrotechnics... but a really perfunctory version in between Mikes and Weekapaug was baffling to me. Of all the songs to wedge in there before the show ends, Bug? Presumably there's a deeper meaning to someone in the band or crews life. Or Trey just loves the way he kicks in the guitar solo THAT much. Can't blame him there.
If I'm limiting myself to songs that arent exactly popular with the fanbase, Number Line seems like it would have been an exquisite choice there. The slow drums in the intro picking up from closer to the Mikes tempo and the rest of the song being closer to Paug speed. Super happy song everyone seems to hate when it starts and love by the end..
I dunno, Loving Cup would have been grand. Sparkle. Bouncing would have been appropriate.
And I won't even touch songs that would have driven people into a frenzy if thrown in there even if totally standard, your Tubes and Tastes and Roses and Bags and Tweezers of the world.
I'm just geeking out.
