FOUR: FAN PHOTOS A
We plan on having several pages of photographs taken of Maynard by his friends, fans and alumni. To start with we decided to go with a small sample of wonderful images taken by Roy Totzke over several years of his following the band. We hope many more of you will send in your photos, but for now check these out. Thanks Roy.
