John Lennon’s Tooth: How I Met The Beatles In September of 1967, I walked up to John Lennon’s home south of London. John was asleep, but his housekeeper, Dorothy, let me wait in his garage until he awoke. John came out and invited me in. We spoke about meditation, movies, and music and he invited me to drive into London in his Rolls-Royce, where I witnessed my very first recording session. It was “I Am The Walrus.”   Apple Book Store: https://books.apple.com/us/book/john-lennons-tooth/id578464505 Amazon Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/John-Lennons-Tooth-Beatles-Dorothy-ebook/dp/B00A9XT2WA
