The band Phish was named after him (he is commonly referred to as "Fish" among many other nicknames) though other explanations for the name have been given. In addition to drumming, he also sings back-up vocals and occasionally lead-vocals (usually on cover songs, most of them humorous - the best examples are Prince\'s "Purple Rain", Neil Diamond\'s "Cracklin\' Rosie", Will Smith\'s song "Gettin\' Jiggy Wit It", and Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd\'s "Bike"). Worthy of note are his more serious vocal efforts, including lead vocals on Phish\'s cover of the Talking Heads song "Crosseyed and Painless," and his vocal duties on the Phish originals, "The Moma Dance," "Taste," and "Ghost." He is well-known on tour for his Electrolux vacuum cleaner solos and playing while wearing a muumuu dress. \n', '
