Music runs strong and deep in these three women, whose roots are intertwined through family and community.
Sylvia and Peggy (“double” first cousins!) grew up singing and playing in the family band. Both their families performed around the country during the 20s, 30s and 40s. As young adults, Sylvia sang with another group while Peggy concentrated on the Methodist Church Choir and playing for dance teachers.
The music path for Merle Dollar, a distant cousin, started with the Springville Methodist Youth Choir. At 17, Merle joined a rock and roll group called Pandora’s Box. She later joined Fable, a band that toured the Southeast. In 1980, she became a school teacher and turned her musical attentions to Broadway musicals, performing in many productions throughout the years.
In 1983, Merle sang in a school function with Sylvia and Peggy. That was the beginning of Something Else!
