Local Couple Recall Life with John Lennon
Cuban and Mexican immigrants revealed an unlikely relationship with a former Beatle -- and his rock 'n roll friends

Maria and Armando Ontivero are Cuban and Mexican immigrants living in Southwest Miami-Dade, who just so happen to have an unlikely rock 'n roll past: the pair once lived in the same house as John Lennon."When my husband said, 'this is the Beatles,' I said, 'Oh my God!" I didn't believe it," Maria recalled.In 1974, Lennon and his girlfriend May Pang rented a beach house in Santa Monica, California and moved in with fellow former Beatle Ringo Starr, The Who drummer Keith Moon, and other famous musicians.The Ontiveros were hired as caretakers. In a period of less than four months, they witnessed wild parties and rare post-Beatles jam sessions that included a fellow called Paul McCartney.
