Branson's Beatles
Did you know that the first Beatle to set foot on American soil was George Harrison when he landed at Lambert Field in St. Louis when he was thirteen years old? And, even more interesting, he was here to visit his sister Louise who was living in southern Illinois. In later years when the Beatles were skirting across the continents, Louise was along helping George and keeping an eye out for her little brother. Now fortunately for us and what’s even more interesting is that she is now spending much of her time in Branson, Missouri, and appears regularly introducing her hand-picked band “Liverpool Legends” and answering questions from the audience. In fact, Marty Scott who plays George in the band has become like George in her real life.
“Marty watches out for me just like George did, and he even says he feels he is often in touch with George’s spirit.
Danita and I had the great pleasure to meet Louise and Marty and the rest of “the lads” on a recent trip to Branson where they are performing at the Starlight Theatre on Highway 76, just across the street from The Presleys' Theatre. Each of the Fab Four not only look remarkably like the Beatle they represent, but they each sound and act almost exactly like their chosen persona. You will not be disappointed in this show. Check out our full feature story on the “New Branson” in our current issue.
