Ken Maynard (1895–1973) was one the superstars among the film cowboys. Reportedly, he began his career as a trick rider with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show and later with Ringling Brothers (some sources deny this). From 1924 on, he worked in Hollywood and made some 20 silent westerns. He was famous for the stunts he could enact with his horse Tarzan. Maynard was the first singing cowboy in the movies.
In this early sound film, he sings the songs Down in Union County, The Old Chisholm Trail and Sal's Got a Wooden Leg. Jack Backstreet at IMDb: "Few stars were ever as disliked within the business but held in such high regard by fans as Ken Maynard. To never have met Maynard was reportedly a blessing. And despite his innumerable personality shortcomings, no other western star of the period had so many opportunities thrown his way. " Maynard had joined Universal during the sound transition period and made eight respectable pictures there. For the 1931-32 production season, the studio, riding high with its homegrown monster craze, opted to ditch westerns altogether and Ken, who studio head Carl Laemmle had quickly grown to dislike, found himself on the wrong side of the studio's gates. During the 1930s, he moved from one studio to another and finally went back to rodeo work. He did a few more low-budget films in the early 1940s, and then retired for good except for bit parts. Married multiple times, Ken's last wife, Bertha died in 1968 and he found himself living largely off meagre Social Security checks. His last years were miserable. He was an alcoholic, who lived alone and in poverty in a trailer. In 1973, Ken Maynard died largely forgotten at the Woodland Hills Motion Picture Home.

A 15-room mansion at 809 Lawrence Road in San Mateo, California. Built in 1879, the Maynard mansion is one of the oldest homes still in use in the city. Once owned by California State Insurance Commissioner, John Maynard, a native of Virginia who had fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
This stately old Victorian Italianate style home is located in San Mateo's 'Western Addition' neighborhood that was originally part of the vast William H. Howard estate. The home was purchased by Wally Jansen in 1980. Jansen is responsible for restoring the mansion into what it is today, "a faithfully restored example of classic Italianate architecture".

I used to walk or cycle past this little shul everyday last year on my way home from work. Places like this seem like they are completely immune to the passing of time.

It all started when Maynard was three years old and he touched a nine volt PP3 battery to his tongue. Soon, his mother had to purchase plastic covers from the Piggly Wiggly to stop him from inserting bobby pins into wall sockets. By the time he reached high school, Maynard had graduated to cattle prods and stun guns. Then, Orange and Rockland Utilities began sending cease and desist letters to his parents home, and Maynard was forced to build his own diesel generator to feed his appetite for amperage.
At the University of Florida, Maynard studied electrical engineering, but he left in his sophomore year to work for Union Pacific where he used diesel locomotives to satisfy his guilty pleasure. Maynard is best known for his YouTube video entitled "Tase me Bro!"

Me & Maynard James Keenan @ Dour Festival, Belgium - 1994 (!!! Ah! The good old days, when I was young, when the only worry I had was to decide if I wanted my hair fire-engine red or grass green)

Early Sunday morning, I went out on a photo hunting excursion around downtown Little Rock.
Hours later, hot, thirsty & tired, I walked past a small group of people standing on a sidewalk near the Old State House. I gave them a careful nod & the most minimal of smiles, not wanting to make eye contact, thinking they were homeless people who sometimes frequent the area near the river, and who regularly ask for money from passersby.
I heard a male voice say, "ma'am?" I kept walking. "Is that camera digital?" I came to a sudden halt and looked back at him. "Would you take a picture of me in front of this building?"
