As I read Bill Lucas’s autobiography, I was amazed by the fact that Lucas could just not catch a break. Not only did Lucas’s eyesight have a significant impact on his life, but between frequently moving around, losing his mother, and being unable to find work and keep his music group together, Lucas’s life was far from easy.
