It was a little out of our, out of our wheelhouse there. And you know, Melodie and I were both like, oh no, thank you. she said something to Melodie and I about selling ads and a program to pay for it. Marty Scott: afford that just for the record. But at the time her price was kind of high for what we could Robyn Bell: And we weren't negotiating for your band to come perform here. We were like sitting in George Harrison sister's living room, having tea and crumpets. She invited Melodie and I to her house for tea. I received a phone call from a lady in Sarasota named Louise Harrison who wanted to meet with me and Melodie Dickerson about bringing her Beatles tribute band here to the State College of Florida as a fundraiser. Robyn Bell: quickly run down our connection for the listeners. And we are going to talk to Marty about his connection to Louise Harrison, his life's journey that led him to be the leading George Harrison tribute artist in the country, and some of his favorite things to do and places to see when he comes to Sarasota to visit Lou. Celebrity many may not know this, but George Harrison's sister Louise Harrison lives right here in Sarasota. Well, Marty Scott, our guest today is in Sarasota this weekend, visiting a Suncoast under the radar. Now you may be asking yourself self, why would Robyn be interviewing a George Harrison impersonator who lives in Branson, Missouri? On the Suncoast Culture Club. In fact, even though he has performed here with my pops orchestra as a guest soloist, he hails from Branson, Missouri, where he performs as the George Harrison in the Beatles tribute band called the Liverpool legends.

Marty Scott joins the club today to talk about his life as a tribute band rock star, his close personal relationship with Louise Harrison, hanging out on a couch and talking with Paul McCartney, the plight the pandemic has had on his band and his performances, and just how hard it is to find a left-handed bassist for a Beatles tribute band! All that and more on this week's episode of the Suncoast Culture Club. It was a good journey and held me in good stead for composing my own material.Many may not know that Louise Harrison, George Harrison's sister, lives in Sarasota and the leader and "George Harrison" of the Beatles tribute band in Branson, Missouri, the Liverpool Legends, befriended Louise many years ago. Learning that stuff was an education, and I soon realised what an underrated guitarist Paul Simon was. so many different styles to take in, and learning classics like that for me was rewarding.įrom there I went on to stuff like Simon & Garfeunkel as I wanted to learn finger style properly. The good thing with learning the Beatles stuff was that it was so varied in material.
Learning other peoples stuff isn't a crime and can teach you discipline amongst other things. I then invested more sheet music books by other artists and did the same thing. I worked through that book untill i had learned everything in it except for songs like Blackbird, and Yesterday, as I was still learning finger style and couldn't do that yet. but it also taught me a lot of very useful stuff, like chord shapes, reading basic sheet music, time signatures, key signatures, etc. It taught me that sheet music is often written in a different key to the record, that the chord positions are wrong, it taught me a lot of bad stuff. I then sat down with the book, and the records and learned everything in it. My first guitar was a 3/4 size acoustic and for my birthday my sister gave me the Complete Beatles song book.
