I have photos of a group called the Sect according to their drum head. I don’t know the names of any members, or where they were from other than possibly the Los Angeles area.

Two of the photos feature actress Deborah Walley. Someone suggested it was her husband John Ashley in the white suit in one shot, but Chas Gibson informs me this is Jimmy Hawkins, who had roles in TV shows like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Leave It to Beaver, and The Donna Reed Show. Hawkins and Walley were in the Elvis movie Spinout, which would date these photos to about 1966.

Arizona is another possible location. There was a group called the Sect from Mesa, Arizona, just east of Phoenix & Tempe, that included J.R. Lara, Tom Smith, Buford “Corky” Allred, Brad Reed and Rusty Martin. That Sect recorded two songs at Audio Recorders that were not released until 2003, “Simply Sunday” / “Just Can’t Win”.

Two people have identified the guitarist in the white hat as Kenny Vaughn of the Superlatives, Marty Stuart’s band. Perhaps someone can confirm or refute this possibility.

If it is Kenny, it is possible these photos were taken in Denver, Colorado, where he was based in the ’60s.

I like their look that mixes western and rock styles. Any info on the Sect would be appreciated.

This isn’t the first time Deborah Walley crops up in Garage Hangover. She and John Ashley appeared at an opening of Sergeant Deadhead with the Jerks in Birmingham, Alabama.

Thank you to Chas Gibson for help with identifying Jimmy Hawkins.
