Coverville 1207: A dozen amazing covers of George Harrison for (what would have been) his 75th birthday!

February 21, 2018

George Harrison would have been 75 next week, and because that’s what I do here (and because I love his music), we’re going to listen to a few covers of his songs (both solo and with that band he was in for a bit). Join me, won’t you? (65 minutes)

    That first track sounds like “Normal” Al Yankovic.

    Great show, but it’s not showing up in Google Play podcasts for some reason.
