Alan says of the first photo:
“One of my junior high and high school friends Dennis Trettel ( holding the trumpet) sent me this 1966 photo of our musical group in 9th grade. Other friends are Jack Frost ( his real name) on drums, Mike Vestel on bass ( next to Jack ) and Jeff Hartman on lead guitar. I’m sitting on  the piano.”
As for the second photo, “Fast forward to 2010 to my group The Alan Storeygard Trio ( actually a quartet here) at the CD release party of my 3rd album THIRD TIME’S A CHARM at the jazz club THE AFTERTHOUGHT in Little Rock, Arkansas. The drummer here is Dave Rogers along with guitarist Danny Fletcher, and Bassist Brian Wolverton.”
