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.
One thing you clarified for me is why "Monica," probably my favorite song (not jam, but song) from the set, sounds so much like a 60s psychedelic pop tune to me. It's that mixolydian character, combined with the timbres of acoustic guitar, crisp drumming, and electric piano.
The Lydian quality of "Waiting All Night" really gives it that lilting, foggy quality that I always associate with the "Lady With a Fan" section of "Terrapin Station," also very Lydian flavored.
When I first heard "Wingsuit," I remember thinking how much it reminded me of my call for the Halloween costume, Meddle. But it also really reminds me of the moment in the 10/20/13 Tweezer, right around 21 min., when Page directs everything into a bliss jam.
I hope they'll use "Wingsuit" as a landing pad after a monster set II opener jam, and of course "Light" is in B major. It could be very cool to hear them navigate that half-step modulation from "Light"> "Wingsuit," although I guess "Light" often travels through a few other key areas before winding up wherever it does.
Kudos Mike. This is really something.
