My favorite thing to do with Lucas was listen to music and sing. That may be the case for a lot of you out there, he had quite a passion for all types of music. Listening to and seeing good music was a passion that we shared, something we could connect on and keep in touch through. He was the first person I told about a new band that I had discovered. He was the person I wanted with me for a damn good show. He was hilarious about getting obsessed with some “new” band too. When he was up here in NYC last summer, all he would listen to was Otis Redding. Same album, over and over again. The summer before that, I went to see him in Auburn, and Rob and I weren’t in the door for two minutes before we had to watch the entire Ben Harper DVD, I think it was about Lucas’ 25th time that weekend. The summer before that, he was in our parent’s basement with The Band DVD that he absolutely would not let anyone walk into the room without watching, discussing, jamming and then rewatching. And somewhere in between all of his jam banding, I remember a period of time where the only thing I could hear in his car was “so fresh and so clean.” He was so funny that way. <\/p>\n
He was up here this past April for his birthday and we went and saw MoFro at a pretty small venue. It was one of my favorite feelings, just to look over and nod at Lucas knowing that we were both thinking “yup, this guy is pretty damn good – let’s rock out.” Lucas wasn’t stingy with the hooping and hollering either. Man, anybody that went to that damn Courtyard 280 bar in Birmingham while that all black band (Lucas knew them all by name of course) was playing was witness to the endless encouragement Lucas would offer up to the singers. Jacob – I know you know what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n
And then last, but certainly not least, the karaoke. I can’t believe I am admitting this to everyone, but I actually have a karaoke machine in my apartment! So, maybe Lucas just couldn’t help karaoking Strokin’ everywhere he went, it was just in his blood. I am so glad that I got to witness this well crafted gift of his at least once. I am sure Morgan will have more to say on this, he literally had the entire bar whoooping it up for him when he did that song. It was one of the funniest things I have seen. When he was up here last summer, one of our only times of just pure joy and being silly was doing karaoke in my apartment. Just the two us, and we laughed at each other until we were on the floor and couldn’t breathe. He must of done A Boy Named Sue 15 times in a row in one sitting, each time dead serious about keeping the voice low, getting better each time, and really yelling out the end. <\/p>\n
