As a Beatles fan, the most fun I have had in my life was on a Beatles tour in Liverpool with other fans.  It was such a thrill just to walk down Mathew Street.

A Beatles tour group from Israel was doing just that yesterday (March 23, 2022).  Someone else just happened to be also in Liverpool.  Sean Lennon was in town because of the opening of the Yoko Ono Lennon Centre concert hall.   He just happened to be walking on Mathew Street with the Beatle fans from Israel were there and he stopped and posed with photos with them.   How awesome is that??  I love it!

Thank you Tsuf Plotkin for allowing me to share these photos on this site.

November 18, 2021 -  Julian, Sean and Stella were at the El Capitan movie theater in Hollywood today to see "Get Back."   It is always nice to see them together.   Doesn't Sean really resemble his Dad in the top photo?

Japanese summer visit

 

Emi Sugiyama is a cook who is starting to add a vegan day to his restaurant.  He shared this photo of himself with the Lennons and has these memories:

Actually, I started to be conscious of" vegan "when I was young. I happened to have a relationship and was blessed with the opportunity to eat with John Lennon's family and my family in Karuizawa. However, they didn't touch the meat dishes among the various dishes on the table. I was wondering about that, and when I asked my mother later, they said, "They are vegan. They are people who only eat vegan food. ”So, I was surprised by the child's heart that there was such a way of eating, and I remembered it strongly later. When I think about it now, they eat ice cream. I was eating, so I wasn't vegan at the time, but a vegetarian (laughs).

 A precious summerat that time, I wouldn't shot of interacting with John Lennon's family. Playing with my son Sean on soap bubbles and frisbee is a lifelong memory. And have thought that the experience at that time would affect Mr. Sugiyama now! Yoko's right-hand side is Mr. Sugiyama, and his left-hand side is Mr. Sean when he was young.

Thanksgiving at Cold Spring Harbor 1979.

John does his fatherly duties of carving the Thanksgiving turkey -- we don't want any cold turkey on Thanksgiving.   (bad John Lennon joke, but it made me chuckle).

Happy Birthday Sean Lennon

Photos by Paul Goresh 

 

This is a bittersweet photo.   Sean is celebrating his 6th birthday.  He looks like an adorable kindergartner with his handmade birthday crown.    I am sure he had a wonderful party with his friends.   However, I am sure that there was a little bit of sadness because John wasn't there for his 41st birthday.   

Having been born almost one year after Sean's birthday -- I always remember him on his birthday and I hope his 45th birthday is a great one.   Happy birthday Sean!
