   "I met John and Yoko for the first time in the fall of 1975, shortly after   
   John won his legal battle to stay in the United States.  The Lennons attended   
   a performance by my father, Eugene, a pianist, and Uncle Norman, who told   
   anecdotes and played violin,   
    at the Biltmore Hotel.  Afterward the Lennons took the Seaman family to the   
   Russian Tea Room, where John and Norman told amusing anecdotes for most of the   
   evening, while Yoko sat silently next to John, wrapped in a white fur coat.    
   John was dressed    
   conservatively from head to toe in black, but his tie was emblazoned with a   
   portrait of a nude woman.     
      
   "When my uncle told the Lennons that I was born near Frankfurt, the son of a   
   Jewish-American father and a German-Protestant mother, John quipped that I was   
   lucky to belong to both the Chosen People and the Master Race.  He then began   
   peppering me with    
   German phrases he remembered from his early days in the red-light district of   
   Hamburg with the Beatles, for instance:  'Um zweiundzwanzig Uhr mussen alle   
   Jugendliche den Saal verlassen" -- At 10:00 all minors must leave the premises   
   -- and "Ficken,    
   lecken, blasen!" -- fuck, suck, blow.  I complimented John on his excellent   
   German pronunciation and told him that I remembered hearing 'Intant Karma' anf   
   'Give Peace a Chance' while riding bumper cars during the Octoberfest in my   
   German hometown of    
   Dillenberg."
