I can't tell for sure, but her Bigsby guitar appears to be a non-pedal guitar. ??
She had a D-8 PSG in the latter 1950s. |

As I vagely remember, Marion had a single neck Bigsby which by activating a "Special Lever" changed the Neck to a differen't tuning. Later on she was playing a Bigsby with some Pedals. She always sat on
a high stool which gave her somewhat a Standup posture but could still operate the Pedals with her feet. |

| Until now, I have never heard of Marian Hall. Who did she play with? |

on the " town hall party " vid, someone mentioned Beryl Herrell playin steel
Marian Hall vids are rather scarce
she does appear on Tex Ritter's " Ranch House Party " but she hardly gets to be heard |

Recordings with Beryl Harrell are much scarcer than with Marian Hall. Beryl was on THP in the earlier years and TV/recording hadn't become the norm at that point, which is unfortunate, she and Marian are both beautiful and great players. |

| Marian plays on few tracks on Joe Maphis' Fire On The Strings LP, which is included on Joe's Bear Family cd. |

I'm in touch with Beryl Harrell's son and have several pictures and recordings of her.
Not only was she a fine steel player; dudes, she was drop-dead gorgeous... like Lana Turner/Rita Hayworth gorgeous.
