George Harrison's Sister Carries on Beatles Legacy
Louise Harrison's "Keeping Music Alive" program brings the Fab Four to life at schools across the country. The Liverpool Legends will perform at Lemont High School at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18.To millions of Beatles fans across the globe, Louise Harrison is referred to affectionately as "the flying mum."Harrison is the older sister of the late George Harrison, who — along with bandmates Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Ringo Starr — rose to worldwide fame with the Beatles in the 1960s.At the time, Louise Harrison was living in Illinois with her husband. Before the band made it big in the United States, she went from radio station to radio station, begging producers to play the Beatles' records.Now, nearly 50 years later, Harrison carries on her brother's legacy through a Beatles tribute band, the Branson, MO-based "Liverpool Legends." Since 2006, the band has been performing songs spanning the entire career of the Beatles, as well as the band members' solo years.
