| The Web Page of Tom Petty |
| The 20,000 buck an ear, or, the Old Fart Vet with a Scanner. Har! Har! Har! |
| WARNING!! I use a little larger kb picture so some of the pages may take a little more than the usual blink of a buck an ear eye to down load. But if you print them off, they will be much better prints. |
| NOTICE: In order to simplify things, all pictures are from the Tom Petty collection unless otherwise noted. Thanks to all who have donated so far. |
