While there he hung out with his old friend comedian / actor Sandra Bernhard, who performed Gary’s song “Follow” with Gary sitting in with her band several years ago at a large rally in support of Gay Marriage Rights at NYC’s Crobar.
Lucas then traveled to Mexico for successful shows in Mexico City and Cuernavaca Mexico performing his live solo score accompanying the 1931 Spanish-language “Dracula”.
