Beryl Harrell was a pioneering female steel guitarist and student of Sol Hoopii's. Here is a sassy version of Draggin' the Steel with the Eddie Cletros Band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPMefYgG6aE
Rich Bell has done the world a favor by posting 3 rare recordings of Beryl, whose music spans from the early development of the first six string electric guitars to the late 50s.
There is a bio on Hillbilly Dawt Com explaining her career in futher detail. I give many thanks to the writers who are helping keep her memory alive and preserving her music as part of our lexicon.
