What I try to do is to figure out what the person's favorite musical style is, and pick the most straight foreward song in that vein that Phish has. If that doesn't open their eyes a bit and get them to sit up and listen, they aren't ready for Phish yet.

The best thing is to take them to a show. They either get it or they don't.

Also OP, FWIW, anyone who doesn't like/appreciate the raw rock energy goodness that is First Tube, is probably not Phan girlfriend/wife material. I would say she is probably humoring you.

Heh. I accept the advice, but I can appreciate the fact that there are probably more important qualities that a girlfriend would need to be a good wife than liking "First Tube". Just saying.

I don't think she's humoring me, at any rate, because she listens to songs like "Farmhouse" and "BOTT" and "Twist" in her spare time. She dislikes the fact that there are no lyrics in "First Tube", which I guess already eliminates more than 75% of the Phish live catalog, since they're probably not singing about 75% of the time.

The Mockingbird Foundation

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 $1,000,000 to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
