Hello! I'm Donna! And my sisters, Rhonda and Janet and I are..."The Sisters of the Silver Sage"! We live in the Foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains...but our hearts are in the American West!! (And on the Texas Dance floor!!) We are happiest when playing and singing songs of the old West and Western Swing! When we croon "Cool Water" and "San Antonio Rose" or one of our own creations...our audiences are instantly soothed and smoothed by our 3 part family harmonies. I've been told that we sound like female Sons of the Pioneers with just a touch of The Andrew Sisters and The McGuire Sisters!! (What great company!!!) Rhonda sings a sparkling, true lead...and Janet sings high tenor while playing the electric bass guitar....I'm next with alto harmonies and some lead vocals...and I play the acoustic rhythm guitar! We're backed up by two dear friends, "Gentleman" Jon Scott and Charlie "Bob" Perkins whose considerable musical talents make up "The Sage Band"....Jon can play just about every instrument there is (and he DOES!!)...and Charlie can really "smoke" the strings on that fiddle..."Sweet Thing"! (Sometimes, he whispers to the fiddle..."Hear that, Smoky??!!) Our performances include stages throughout the Southeast as well as Las Vegas, Nevada and Branson, Missouri and our music is being played world-wide as well as in the U.S. and Canada! You can visit our website at www.sistersofthesilversage.com to sample our music, purchase our albums or visit our "Wildwood Ranch" and read about our latest "shenanigans"! And don't forget to sign our Guest Book before you leave! We love to hear from our friends and fans!

Hi all, Just stopped in to listen and get rid of the office tension. I am finishing off the other two projects so sandy can have a little more time for your song should start on it in the next tow weeks. Waiting to hear from the musicians and their availability to do the session. You Ladies are great and I love your music have a great day and week
Thank you for the story about your Dad. I really enjoyed reading it. I hope all of your other friends will take the time to read it. Then...go home and record stories of their parents and grandparents. This is living history and what a treasure for later generations to have. I have done quite a bit of family stories and some of the younger ones are already appreciating it. So let's keep herdin' those dark clouds out of the sky, keepin' the heavens blue. Best wishes. Kari Scott
Thanks for the bulletin on Smokey. I haven't heard Happy Rovin' Cowboy in so long. When we lived in Iowa when I was little, I listened to the radio before going to school. About 7:45 AM was a program, Jerry the Yodeling Cowboy and Happy Roving was his theme song. Good to hear it again. Best wishes. Kari Scott
