Marian Hall (1934-2006) : Marian deserves to be better known for her many accomplishments as a live television pioneer, resourceful and innovative steel guitar soloist, vocalist and songwriter. Marian became a familiar face on live TV in Los Angeles in the 1950s as part of the Town Hall Party cast along with “superpickers”, Joe Maphis and Merle Travis. Marian spent time gigging with Tex Ritter's Ranch Party, Tex Williams band, and even Spade Cooley's all-girl orchestra. [quote from the Steel Guitar Forum]

The Drugstore Cowboys band was formed in 1972 with Dub Robinson, drummer Robert (Cotton) Payne and bassist Tommy McKay. McKay named the group. "Tommy suggested that naming the band Drugstore Cowboys would leave us free to do rock because a drugstore cowboy ain't a really serious cowboy".

Their two singles for Blaze Records (San Antonio, Texas) were produced by Jimmy Peoples. Both issued in 1973.

Sonny is certainly Sonny Trockmorton, but it's not known who is Fran.

James Fron "Sonny" Throckmorton was born April 2, 1941) in Carlsbad, New Mexico. He moved to San Francisco, California after graduating from college, and first played rock & roll before switching his focus to country music at record producer Pete Drake's suggestion. By 1964, he played bass guitar for Carl Butler and Pearl Known primarily for his songwriting, 

Throckmorton has had more than 1,000 of his songs recorded by various country singers. He has also had minor success as a recording artist, having released two major-label albums: The Last Cheater's Waltz in 1978 on Mercury Records and Southern Train in 1986 on Warner Bros. Records. Throckmorton is a member of the Nashville Songwriters' Hall of Fame, and has been awarded Songwriter of the Year by both Broadcast Music Incorporated and the Nashville Songwriters Association International.   [Wikipedia]

This is probably his very first recording as a singer, prior to the pair of singles issued by Pickwick's subsidiary Hilltop Records in 1970 and 1971.

Chalet Records was headed by Bobby Bobo assisted by Chuck Howard.

Pat Patterson

Samuel Roosevelt Patterson Jr. born 17 September 1925 in Logan, West Virginia, died 6 September 1980 in Washington, D.C. He recorded as Pat Patterson. His best record is probably "Boppin At Mid-Nite" on Moko Records, out of Union (New Jersey) from around 1957. Then he moved to the Washington, D.C. area, where he is rumored to have been a drummer and talent manager. He copyrighted several songs between 1952 and 1956, notably "Ratamacue" in 1956, a song he later recorded for Morty Craft's Warwick Records. There was a last release of a single on Nippon Records (as Sing-A-Poor Charlie), and that was all, as far as I know.
