Louise and the Liverpool Legends

We had a treat in the studio on Friday, as Louise Harrison, the sister of George Harrison, appeared on the show. She was here to promote the Liverpool Legends, a Beatles tribute band that she formed. Along with her was Marty Scott, who takes on the role of George in the band.
Our on-air interview was a lengthy one, clocking in at just over nine minutes (it can be found on the website), but I could have talked about music with them for hours. Louise had several great stories about the early days of the band, some of which she shared on the show and a few she told me off camera. She came to America ahead of the Beatles and tried, with little luck, to get their music played on the radio. Oddly enough, one of the stations that turned her down would later have her provide Beatles Reports several times a week. Another story involved George coming to America before they found fame here. Ringo was supposedly going to join him. So Louise booked an appearance on a local television show. Ringo's response: if he had to work, he wasn't coming.
I also talked with Marty about assuming the role of George and he recently took it to the next level by adding sitar to the performance. He said it wasn't easy as instructor wouldn't teach him any Beatles songs. The instructor knew the songs, he just wouldn't share the knowledge.
Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to see the Liverpool Legends yet. I hope to get the chance sometime this summer. But a big thanks to Louise and Marty for appearing on the show.
