The Wyandotte Sisters

Oh I have been so remiss lately....

so consumed with concern for our dear Eileen,

that I have forgotten to tell you about her sister!

And believe me, her sister, Tammy, is just a bit annoyed with me!

(This, dear readers, is how a chicken

looks when she is annoyed!)

You see, a few decades ago, there was this sister act...

The Wyandotte Sisters (Eileen and Tammy)....

made famous after countless appearances on

The Ed Sullivan Show.

Boy, could those gals sing....

perfect harmony,

with voices of angels...

sweet Gospel melodies of yesteryear.

And then one day Tammy was bit by the Country Music bug.

Well, she up and left the sister act and headed out on her own.

leaving Eileen alone and devastated!

Introducing.....

Tammy Wyandotte

You might remember a few of her hits.

Perhaps most famous was...

"Stand By Your Roo",

and of course

"Run, Hen, Run"

and also

"Brooding Story"

A movie was made about Tammy's life...

The Coal Miner's Pullet

starring Sissy Silkie.

During this time, Eileen gave up 

the public life and spent the next several decades

singing in the Gritty Hollow Baptist Church choir.

Eventually, Tammy's career took a turn for the worse.

(perhaps it was the reported addiction to painkillers)

Regardless, she spent a little time in the Betty Ford Center

before heading to Bee Haven Acres

to spend her retirement 

and reunite with her sister... 

Eileen

Yes, fans, our Eileen is none other than 

Eileen Wyandotte.

I'll bet you thought she looked familiar!!

Well, if you follow this blog,

you will know that Eileen has had her

share of woes lately...

the latest being a rip-roaring case of bumblefoot.

(You can read about it HERE .)

Happily, though, after last week's surgery

and countless dressing changes,

Eileen's foot is on the mend.

She bears weight on it about half the time now.

The hole left by the surgery is healing quickly.

We are still saying our prayers...

but it looks like Eileen should make a full recovery!

Hopefully we can get these gals back in front

of a microphone at one of our eventual

Blueberry Festivals.
