Michael Coleman. But it was their octave-spanning vocal harmonies that truly showcased their musical strengths... Debi Smith and her younger sister Megan reflected country warmth and harmonious texture as The Smith Sisters. Debi, who has been a member of Four Bitchin' Babes since 1994, is equally skilled at acoustic guitar, bodhran, and piano, possessor of a three-octave vocal range, and wrote many of the duo's songs. Megan anchored the arrangements on electric bass and sang harmonies that blended naturally with her sister. The Smith Sisters issued five albums in the '80s and '90s, the aforementioned Bluebird in 1984 followed by Mockingbird (1986), Roadrunner (1989), I See the Moon (1991), and A Canary's Song (1993)." Early Smith Sisters:<img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/395280/d9519433494d2ac1e91eabbd8982bc784483df7d/original/img-0010.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NDM0eDQyMiJd.jpg" height="422" width="434">From an ad in the NACA program:"ordinary name, extraordinary sisters." Photo by Gary Garrison <img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/395280/ab13eeef9a5e566dbdd896effc839f4685391f66/original/320970-586527811373674-1065384679-n.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6NDQ5eDU3MSJd.jpg" height="571" width="449">Photo by Garry Garrison<img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/395280/25d756c74fcd59dc73a885e13b20ceff5703e154/original/img-0006.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzUzeDQ3MyJd.jpg" height="473" width="353">Merle Watson festival with Debi's son (now 26) <img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/395280/3ee6af1932d8385e15724139419344cd671ddb2d/original/img-0005.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzM1eDQyOSJd.jpg" height="429" width="335">Photo by Gary Garrison<img src="https://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/395280/6763802c71546f8ce0ab17fecea0e40a01faf967/original/img-0007.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzEzeDM0MSJd.jpg" height="341" width="313">"Canary's Song" photo shoot.
