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.
You're definitely right! Also: unrelated!
In general I don't know as much about Brent's time with the Dead as I'd like to. My sense is that he was a solid player; I love several shows with him, and especially the kind of rhythmic play he could bring to chestnuts like Scarlet > Fire. I dislike his vocals intensely.
I get the sense that Keith was more important to the band's evolution, but Brent was a much better fit with the band overall (and by some measures a better player, period). Still, of all the Dead's keyboardists I'd take Hornsby in a second.
In any case, what is there to say? @cobaltsea, help me here - can you talk a little about Brent in the context of my post? Or did you just come here to misspell things at me in all capital letters?
