In Loving Memory of Keith Carson Lucas

a few memories and thoughts from Robert Luna

I miss you Keith. You gave me a new interpretation of life, music and love. You were there when I needed you and I think of you often when I am playing music or listening to one of the many groups you turned me on to. If I had ever had a brother, I would have wished him to be you. I love you. Know that whenever I share this tribute page with friends and family, your love will always be alive in our hearts and minds.

Jan. 28,1959 - Aug. 16, 1994

Keith told me that this drawing (which he drew in the hospital a few months before he died) represented how he had so much love to give, but it just couldn't break out of the cage because there were no doors or openings.

 

I took a walk
I never looked back
what was there- was...
I took a breath
I took it deep
what is here - is...
I took a chance
I took a flying leap
I know I can fly...
here in this faith
lights the fire of belief
that never asks why...
 
I - a man measured by
the waters of my soul and
you - a river running through
with more than I can hold
 
I close my eyes
and here on the inside
I took in the view...
an azure sky
and vista of bridges
took me to you...
 
I a man measured by
the waters of my soul
you - a river running through
with more than I can hold

The hallowed entrance of BELOW ZERO night club. The Innovation of another good friend who passed away in the early 90's, Ed Lindgreen. This is the club where I first met Keith. His band was playing on a Friday night in the fall of '85. This club had a firm grasp of what was happening in the music and fashion scenes. Frequently combining the two for an aural and visual extravaganza!
