According to my parents, "We learned about Parthenon Huxley when our grandson fell for the enormous inflatable, animatronic Halloween decorations four doors up the block. It turns out that our neighbor spent nine years as lead guitarist for a latter day version of the world-famous, multi-platinum selling British symphonic rock group ELO. "P. Hux" has a long recording history as a solo artist beginning with his Columbia Records LP "Sunny Nights" which Rolling Stone called "a monumental debut." Huxley went on to win Album of the Year Awards in the indie press for his albums "Deluxe" and "Homemade Spaceship." Parthenon has collaborated with and shared the stage with countless famous names including Crosby, Stills and Nash, Cheap Trick, Brian Wilson, Aimee Mann, Joan Jett, David Lee Roth, Bo Diddley, Linda Ronstadt, Foreigner and many more. A masterful guitarist, singer and songwriter, P. Hux has been dubbed a "pop visionary", "rock's most underrated pop genius" and a songwriting "master."

For the uninitiated, a house concert is a chance to experience music in a warm and intimate environment. You're invited into someone's living room to share in a performance by one of their favorite musicians. It's a chance to meet the performers and have them sign their CD. A house concert is also a great social evening of friends and neighbors. The proceeds of houseconcerts go to the musicians and make up a vital part of the livelihood of an independent musician.</p><br /><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><br /><p>Shhhh: the secret&nbsp;is <em>Cross-eyed Rosie and I are putting together a special reunion show&nbsp;in Portland in September</em>!&nbsp; I'll tell you more&nbsp;next&nbsp;month.&nbsp; Meanwhile I&nbsp;hope you're enjoying your life and that we can see each other soon.</p><br /><p>Peace &amp; Be Well,<br />Lincoln</p>]]></description>

My family and I have since racked up miles and smiles during four months in Thailand, and it seems just barely made it out before the worst of the government protest violence recently in Bangkok.  We are glad to be back, and will be visiting our family for the next two months, before returning to Portland, OR in August to make a home. <br /><br />As soon as I hop off the plane in Seattle there will be music, beginning with dates in Bellingham (8/5), Bellevue (8/12) and Portland on Friday the 13th!  I'll let you know more in future LinkLists, along with other information and special announcements soon.  Meanwhile, visit the website, keep listening to the music, and I'm excited to have the chance to play for you again!  I'm eternally grateful.<br /><br />Peace & Be Well,<br />Lincoln]]></description>

            <title>February Note from Sabbatical</title>
            <link>http://lincolncrockett.com/news.html#99</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi everyone, greetings from mid-February on sabbatical in Thailand (more on that below):<br /><br />My extended break began full-force and radical after the farewell show in November as my wife, Alicia, and I packed up our belongings and squeezed them in a 10x10 box.  This was equal parts painful and liberating.  We felt burdened by day to day upkeep of a modern American home, but in love with the same burden.  The contents of our little mountain cabin fit so well that we kept more than we expected.  Lotsa flotsam and jetsam - a couch, a desk, dining table and chairs, houseplants, our beloved mountain truck 'The Mule' - we gave away, loaned out, stashed and stored with friends and family.  We were ready to look for a larger home anyway, but our son was the most sad to leave.  Hopefully the worst that can happen to him, other than expensive therapy bills, is a tendency to feel rootless and inclined to travel... just like his mom and pop!  (oh boy...)<br /><br />We boiled everything down to a backpack each by January.  When I say we're taking a sabbatical from everything, we mean EVERYTHING.  Several people in my life have expressed drooling envy at this, but I have a confession: I'M A HOMEBODY!!  I love: 1. a fridge with my food in it, and 2. a bed with my sheets on it, somewhere out there, knowing I can return to it.  I think I got myself into deeper water than I was expecting, but lesson learned.  All the more likely that you'll hear me back doing music sooner.<br /><br />On that note (pun relished), I can feel the music rising in me again, like sap.  Perhaps wiser musicians anticipate the need for creative rebirthing periodically, but I came to this the old fasioned way - burnout.  On this trip I have brought my mandolin (very well insured!).  I pick it up when the muse strikes me, utterly without pressure or need driving me.  I've been finding new nooks and crannies.  Just last night Alicia asked "Did you write that? That was beautiful," after one of dozens of little, aimless meanderings around the fretboard that stay with me day after day.  Perhaps one or two will grow into 'Gone Away Pt.2' or something fun.  Right now I'm sensitive to the wind whispering in my heart, listening for the way forward from here, just as I've always done.<br /><br />By the way, I've been listening to the new disks, IN PICTURES and PLAY IN THE YARD all the time, have you?  These songs are my own messages in a bottle from the deep inside to the light of day.  When I finally decided on sabbatical I had to come to terms with not being able to release and tour a new disk as I'd been hoping to do.  Thankfully, this and my limited time available set just the boundaries I needed to know what to do, and just like with ANGELS AND DEVILS ALIKE, the results have exceeded my expectations.  Some of these songs I've played out once or twice, some only for friends, some, like my new favorite "Summerbird", have never been heard.  On IN PICTURES Tom Frisch and I captured them in all their glory, the best I ever played them, and still managed to find new sounds and new instruments.  PLAY IN THE YARD, meanwhile, makes me smile everytime.  Playing with Jim, Tyler and Andy behind me was like heaven to a normally solo performer.  Like, dude, imagine - Tyler was there holding down JUST THE BASS NOTES!!!!  Unbelieveable.  I could go on and on and on and on, but my wife has taught me better manners.  Get the disks and hear for yourself.<br /><br />Have I mentioned I hadn't enjoyed a real vacation in, like, what feels like a decade?  Guess where we have gone now!  (OK tons of you know already, but, ta da) I'm in Bangkok, Thailand right now, feeling grateful that U.S. cities have good sanitation, and grateful that Thai food is so amazingly good.  Its been great to be warm in the winter, to be well cared for at all of our stays, to get in my first ever tropical island beach time, and to have a change to decompress and take a long look at life.  What do I want in the future?  What did I like about what I doing?  Is this really the life I sought?  What of all these answers is something permanent and lasting, and which were just circumstantial, satisfactions that might be found in greater measure in a different presentation.  Is music the highest expression of the joy I feel bubbling up inside me?  What new risks might I be inclined to take in the future?  What do I really need, and what do I really NOT need to be happy!?<br /><br />The answers are coming.  They change shape a little everyday.  Geographically speaking we're going on to India next - a place Alicia has always wanted to go and who's modal music has thrilled me since George Harrison.  Its time for more new things.  What new things are you getting into these days?  Do you still feel the 'Recession', or are you ready to think of it as 'The Progression' to something better and closer to your heart.  Have you been working at your dreams lately?  I'd love to hear about it.  Drop me a note here thru link@lincolncrockett.com or sign in on the guestbook.  Meanwhile, enjoy the music, and as I told a friend recently, may all the happiness you can stand be stalking you in broad daylight.<br /><br />Peace and be well,<br />Lincoln]]></description>

You've been asking for more and I couldn't leave you hanging!  These albums are digital download only, and are available right now through <a href="http://www.CDBaby.com">www.CDBaby.com</a>.<br /><br />IN PICTURES is a stripped-down, solo trip through live favorites recorded for the first time like 'Takin' A Break' and 'Why Do We Hurt The Ones We Love', alongside rarities like 'Sight Of Love' and 'Ya Gotta Know', and favorite new songs that have never been heard before like 'Summerbird' and 'Hard Heart'.

I love these recordings.

But in my heart my #1 goal is to de-stress and spend time getting to know my wife and son again, so for now, enjoy these new disks as my personal messages to you, and we'll see each other ahead on greener shores.<br /><br />Thanks Everyone!<br /><br />With love and gratitude,<br /><br />Lincoln]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone!<br /><br />I'm fresh back from the Sister's Folk Festival and I can do nothing but gush.  For those who have never been, it's an epicenter of beautiful music, and follows on the heals of the Americana Project Song Accademy, where I was honored to be a staff member.  (<a href="http://www.sistersfolkfestival.com">www.sistersfolkfestival.com</a>)  Great to see so many friends there, and hope the rest of you will join in in the future!<br /><br />The *NEW* CD Baby is here: THE best source for indedpendant music has launched a new artist info site with a robust resources section, new product offerings, AND a brand new storefront with new functions and features!  New ease of downloads & updated info will be coming for my and Cross-eyed Rosie's cd's.  Expose yourself to new music!<br /><br />                                        "I'm Just Taking A Break":<br /><br />After an eye-opening two years since the release of ANGELS & DEVILS ALIKE, I've decided to take a sabbatical of indeterminate duration and destination, to take stock, take time with my family, take a load off, take some adventures.  So every show between now and my departure takes on a new light.  I'll be taking one more run through Washington with Chris Kokesh and playing a few more dates in the Portland area culminating with an EXTRA SPECIAL SHOW at Mississippi Studios on November 27th!!  More details on that show in the future... <br /><br />THIS WEEK:  John Henry and Chris Kokesh have invited me to be the special guest at their Harmony Thursdays series at Alberta St. Pub in Portland!  AND Jim McKeon and I will be playing our last purely duo sets at Hotel Oregon on Friday.  Gonna be some great music...<br /><br />------------------------------------------details-------------------------------------------<br /><br />Thursday, September 17th, 2009<br />Harmony Thursday - 6:30 pm<br />Alberta Street Pub<br /><br />1036 NE Alberta St<br />Portland, OR 97201<br />US<br />503-284-7665        <br />Price: $5<br /><br />John Henry and Chris Kokesh have been excited to be bringing harmony back in this long running series!

I will have more dates updated on the calendar soon.  I hope to get to see you again before I'm off, AND I'm working to leave you with some new recordings.  Take good care of yourselves and see you soon!<br /><br />Gratefully Yours,<br />Lincoln]]></description>
