The May 25, 1967 Burnet Bulletin gave a description of the Deacons, a local group invited to a battle of the bands in Colorado City, TX, 230 miles to the northwest, on June 3.
Members were:
Eddie Fariss (Farris?) – drummer and lead singer
Larry Boyd – lead guitar
Joel Mann – lead and rhythm guitar
Don Baker – rhythm guitar
Larry Dunlap – bass guitar
All were students at Burnet High School. I don’t believe the Deacons recorded.
