It was widely assumed that “Bobby Brown” was a pseudonym for Tim Rogers, the band’s original lighting director. This is not true; Bobby is a real person who played harmonica with Phish on four occasions. Not much else is known about Bobby, other than that he is a “skinny brown-skinned guy with short curly black hair,” according to Richard Wright. Also, according to Richard Wright: “Tim Rogers is a tall, heavyset, pale-skinned, Irish guy with long light auburn hair who was a roadie for Phish for a year or so; he also played mandolin on The Lost Paradox (the J. Willis Pratt tape produced by Fish).”

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.
