Mockingbird Foundation
The Mockingbird Foundation is a charitable organization founded by fans of the jam band Phish in 1996 (legally incorporated the following year) to support music education for children. Unconventional in structure, it exists almost entirely online, allowing a higher percentage of income to be distributed directly to deserving organizations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mockingbird Entirely Volunteer )〕 Projects include the publication of ''The Phish Companion'' and the production of the Phish tribute album ''Sharin' in the Groove''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission Statement )〕 As of November 13, 2006, the foundation had provided over 150 disbursements (through grants and other awards) totalling over $500,000; sold over 60,000 copies of ''The Phish Companion''; and sold over 25,000 copies of ''Sharin' in the Groove''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Mockingbird Foundation Homepage )〕 The organization was recognized officially by Phish when, in 2004, the band donated all proceeds from their Livephish download service to the Mockingbird Foundation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LivePhish to Benefit Mockingbird )〕
==''The Phish Companion''==
The Mockingbird Foundation is a leading provider of historical information about the band Phish and its music. The Foundation's book project, ''The Phish Companion'', is a comprehensive and authoritative reference chronicling Phish and their music, including years preceding and following the band's own history. It was researched with the help of all official Phish sources, including band archivist Kevin Shapiro, bassist Mike Gordon, lyricist Tom Marshall, and others. Over 1,500 named fans contributed to the First Edition, with several hundred more augmenting the second.〔
With over 900 pages and weighing 4.20 pounds, the book features setlists, show notes and statistics on 1,426 live performances; setlists and reviews on nearly 700 sideshows; history and statistics on over 670 songs; detailed notes and advice on various bootlegs in circulation; and a redesigned discography, venues table, tape notes, lyrics index, essays, interviews, poetry, and photography.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phish Companion facts )〕 The second edition's forewords were written by all of the people credited as having taught the members of Phish how to play music. Phish lyricist Tom Marshall has called the ''Companion'' "Truly an epic piece of work."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Phish Companion )〕
