Teen solves centuries-old math problem
BRANSON, Mo., Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Dianne "Dee Dee" Lennon of the Lennon Sisters wonders "where did the time go" as the iconic U.S. musical act prepares to celebrate its 55th anniversary.
The singing siblings made their first appearance on America's "Lawrence Welk Christmas Show" in 1955. They went on to make more than 100 recordings and performed every Saturday night for 13 years on "The Lawrence Welk Show."
They starred in their own variety show for ABC, "Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters Hour," and performed regularly with Andy Williams on his NBC show and in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace.
"Where did the time go? Only yesterday we were four little girls singing in Church! We were big sisters in a big family and now we have our own families, and we are grandmothers! What?!? How blessed we have been to have kept our love for each other through many challenging times through the years. I treasure the good times and am able to forget the bad times because of THEM ... MY SISTERS! I am proud to have sung all these years together and I still get teary-eyed and have goose bumps when we sing 'May You Always' or our Christmas medley. I love each one of them as only a sister can -- and I am thankful," Dianne Lennon said in a statement Tuesday.
The recording stars said they are scheduled to appear in various concerts through 2011, culminating in a Lennon Sisters Christmas Concert in St. Charles, Mo.
