- the following are excerpts from a bio written by steven heinstein -los angeles ca. 2004 ".......It’s all been a bit vague until now. Well, there are still plenty of unanswered questions, but the dirt on terminally ill singer/songwriter Stanley Lucas has come above ground. Loaded on meds and living or dying somewhere in upstate New York, though some say Lucas is in Mexico where there is an ample supply of affordable pain medication, Lucas has recorded two final albums and added them to his catalogue of 100 + songs. The collection of sonic memoirs recalling Dylan, Bowie, and other great musical storytellers is delivered intentionally in lo-fi fashion and is being uploaded to Lucas’ website for the world to hear his last wish."
