Simone Sedda

Soy un violinista profesional y propietario de un violín Lambert que compré en Madrid en 1965.
Es un  J.N. Lambert . Rue Michel le compte, Paris  (1700) . 

Durante parte de mi etapa profesional trabajé en  una orquesta en el Hotel Castillo Son Vida (Palma de Mallorca)  desde 1970 hasta 1981.

En mayo de 1971 John Lennon y Yoko Ono cuando siendo clientes del Hotel bajaron a cenar al restaurante , el Maitre no dejó pasar a John porque no llevaba corbata , éste, sin enfado alguno  se fué a su habitación volviendo al restaurante con la corbata anudada sobre la cabeza !! Que podia  hacer el Maitre ahora !
Aproveché la oportunidad para acercarme a su mesa con el violín y tocar Yesterday para ellos….sin darme cuenta entonces que Yesterday es una composición de Paul Mc Cartney.
Pregunté a John si podía firmarme un autógrafo en el violín cosa que hicieron amablemente los dos usando un bolígrafo grabando los nombres en la madera.

Muchos años después alguien me mando un link de la entrevista que hizo Play boy en septiembre 1980 en la cual John comentaba acerca del violinista español que le pidió autografiar  su violín. John Lennon fue asesinado en Diciembre 1980 y la revista publicó la entrevista en enero 1981.
Fue realmente interesante para mi que John me recordara  9 años más tarde.

Con ocasión del 40 aniversario de su muerte , varios diarios locales oyeron la historia y publicaron  sendas entrevistas en 08,12,2020 Diario de Mallorca  y 19,10,2020 Ultima Hora .

Otras  firmas aparecen en el violín son:
	James Last ; famoso director de orquesta alemán. (firma año 79)
	Carlos Arias Navarro : último Jefe de Gobierno de España en la dictadura franquista. (firma 	abril 76)

I am a profesional violinist and the owner of a Lambert violin which I bought in Madrid in 1965 . ( luthier J.N. Lambert . Rue , Michel le compte, Paris 1700)
During my profesional career I was part of an orquesta employed in the Son Vida Castle Hotel in Palma de Mallorca. This was during the years from 1970 until 1980.
In may 1971 John Lennon and Yoko Ono were guests at the Hotel and on coming to the restaurant for dinner were refused a table by the headwaiter because John was not wearing a tie, he made no fuss returned to his room and came back to the dinning room wearing a tie tied aroung his head !!!. What could the headwaiter do !
I took the opportunity to go to their table and played Yesterday for them on the violin, not realising that Yesterday was Paul Mc Cartney’s composition.
I asked John if he would autograph my violin and both himself and Yoko very kindly agreed. They used a ballpoint pen to cut into the wood.
Many years later I was sent a link refering to an interview in the Playboy magazine in September 1980 in which John talked about the spanish violinist who asked for his autograph . John Lennon sadly died the following December, 08,12,1980 and the magazine published the interview in January 1981.
I was really amazed that 9 years later he remembered meeting me.
On the ocasión of the 40th aniversary of his death the local newspapers in Mallorca heard the history and came to interview me;
Newspapers : Diario de Mallorca 08,12,2020 and Ultima Hora 19,10,2020
The other signatures on the violin are:
	Carlos Arias (last Prime Minister under General Franco’s regime) april 1976)
	James Last ( German Director of Orquesta) 1979
