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.
So now I'm going in multiple directions. Are the clips all from Fall '97? Clip 1 suggests maybe (although I smelled '99), but Clip 3, like Mike, says no. It's obvious the clip is from an earlier era. Do all the songs start with T? Maybe...
Then I notice 11/16/97 was played in Denver, CO and 11/14/97 in West Valley City, UT - two of the four states that make up the four corners. To prove if my theory has any merits, I go immediately to the '99 shows in the southwest and lo and behold, I come across the great Ghost of Las Cruces, NM (9-22-99).
Three for four! I'm confident I have the theme and start poking around early Arizona shows. For whatever reason, after searching unsuccessfully through a couple of shows, I start questioning myself. There's a potential alternate theme here and maybe the Four Corners thing is a ruse! Here's what I had:
Clip 1 - Ghost
Clip 2 - Timber
Clip 3 - ?
Clip 4 - Twist
Could the missing clip be a song that starts with "B" and the theme Good Times Bad Times? I mean, it's been quite a week, hasn't it?
But no, I stuck with the Four Corners hunch until the end and uncovered the third clip, the 12/9/94 Tweezer.
Ucpete, hell of a job. This was not easy.
