It was in the 70's. I was a young, married woman. After a concert, my (male) cousin and I went up to compliment Shlomo on his music. He said to me that he would like to discuss the music further over a cup of tea. Not knowing how to react, I agreed, to meet him at a local diner. I said to him that this was not a kosher place, and he said that was fine. When the time approached, I sensed that something was not right. I called my husband and asked him to join us, which he did. Shlomo was clearly distressed that my husband was there, and shook his head at me, repeating my name, as if I had done something wrong. I then asked him how was his wife. Shaking his head at me, repeating my name, he proceeded to tell us that she was very tired and not well. We left him there in the certain knowledge that I had avoided being taken advantage of by a sexual predator.
