Mention Peggy Gram to members of Sweet Adelines, and you
might hear her
described as a well known and admired musician, a long
time leader,
teacher and role model in the organization, a 30+ year
quartet member
who has sung as a lead, a baritone and a bass. Once Peggy
finally
discovered her smooth and mellow bass voice, she quickly
became a
two-time international quartet champion. Peggy has been
a chorus
director for 30 years, taking Top Of The Rock Chorus to
a Region #25
championship several times and once winning the Harmony
Achievement
Award. Others watching Peggy on stage might describe her
as the owner
of a famous neck with an even more famous nape, or as
an emcee with a
witty and charismatic southern accent. People watching
Peggy from the
stage would know her as a judge in the showmanship category.
Peggy is the daughter of a long time
Sweet Adeline, has two brothers, isthe mother of two
married daughters, is a softie for dogs (she has twoWesties,
Myra and Gizmo), and apparently was a softie for husbands
aswell (she's had two)... and decided to keep the second
one, who's a majorsupporter of everything she does.

of Arkansas for31 years, and currently serves as the
