I have a wonderful recording on tape of "Leather Winged Bat" by a group the DJ identified as The Smith Sisters. The Internet can give me nothing on The Smith Sisters. Just a few basic questions:
They sound American. are they?
Any album titles you know of?
"Leather winged bat" is from what album?
Any idea of what decade they were on the scene?

Debi and Megan Smith. They are American. I believe that Debi currently performs with a group called "The Four Bitchin' Babes".

Debi once was a member of a Washington DC/Baltimore MD area Irish group called "The Hags". The Hags used to perform "Leather Winged Bat", so that may be where Debi learned the song.

They may be American and do Irish stuff, but with names like Debi and Megan I bet their ancestry was Welsh.

Debi and Megan no longer play full-time together as Debi is performing with the Four Bitchin' Babes and as a fantastic solo.

Is this another request for your privately published CD, like you asked for information about Bryan Bowers? People are curious about this project in which you're putting out a CD about people you know little about. What is going on here?

The Smith Sisters had formerly been in the cough drop business under the names of Trade and Mark, the Smith Bros. When the Mach 3 razor was introduced, they shaved, dressed in drag, and went on to an unenviable career as performers. That's the gospel truth!
