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.
Bear with me as I explain my thought processes….
I was walking the dog around noon MST, and thinking about Gumbo. The food with okra, shrimp, the holy trinity etc mostly, but also the song, because how could I not? I was remembering my second or 3rd show, San Jose in 94. The Cosmic Country Horns played with them, that was some funky Gumbo.
Anyway, that led me to remembering Scent of a Mule, and thinking about how I couldn’t recall them playing it in quote a while. I wondered if they’d purposely retired it, just hadn’t been into playing it, or whatever.
My mind was wandering (yes it does, yes it does) to other times back when. Red Rocks in 95, those shows blew my mind. And they busted out A Day In The Life.
So there you have it: my psychic brain powers picked 2 pretty rare songs out of my memory, and The Phish played them!
(OK, I did not predict the multiple Down with Diseaseprises, nor the YEM encore. Gotta leave something to chance)
Before you ask, I only use these powers for good.
“Good” is negotiable.
