| Eddie Gossien played one with Mel McDaniel in his video "Stand Up If You've Ever Been There" and in 2000, he played a blue Marrs D-10 in Darryl Worley's video "Good Day To Run". |

Just chimin' in. Hey Paul(my old friend from Ill. that I never met!)..I had the first production Marrs guitar that Duane built..ser#0002 back in 1980, a red D-10 w 8+10and L-705 p/ups. I traded it back to Duane for another Marrs..and Eddie G. traded an early Marrs guitar for mine. He still has it and it was "updated" with new parts a time or two as Duane was known to do when he came up with "a better idea". Incidentally, my second Marrs was an experiment..lacquer body, veneered maple, and black mica on the inside of the top/front boards...we just wanted to see what it would sound like. Duane built many nice steels and wasn't opposed to trying out new ideas/custom touches. Respectfully submitted, RK

| When Carrie Underwood sang "I told You So" on the Opry, a young man with her played a Marrs. There's a You Tube of it. |

That man is Chad Jeffers, a great musician, who, at one time played dobro with a group called Pinmonkey. He then played dobro in Keith Urban's band, but he joined Carrie's band in '07. When he joined Carrie's band, he was new to the pedal steel guitar. He played his Marrs steel for a few years with Carrie, but now plays a Mullen G2 with Carrie |

Many years ago I saw the late Harold Fogle play a Marrs D-10 in a small club here in U.K. Harold was then in the Jimmy C Newman band. In the break I got to chatting with Harold..friendly guy, and he showed me the steel close up. Really well made, as you would expect with Duane Marrs.Harold was only the second guy apart from Emmons, I'd seen to "twist" his bar on an ascending run up the neck, it was a kinda party trick, and VERY hard to do!!  Duane Marrs was the first guy to build a "Pakka" seat, when he worked for Sho-Buds. I spoke to Duane once on the phone, and said that under my Sho-Bud S-12 it said "Inspected by Duane Marrs" ... He told me that that ment he assembled the entire guitar. I got that Sho-Bud in 1977, and some of you forumites know it was burnt badly in a house fire,and rebuilt by a guy here in U.K. ...Shows, you can't put a good 'Bud down...She still plays sweet
