I got the opportunity to interview Ricky Rubio.
This is a story I spent nearly a year working on. Musicians with ties to Minnesota recorded Beatles songs for a CD that benefits music programs in Minnesota. An Anoka school that received a grant last year got a special surprise for this year’s album.
Continuing my cover my “65+ beat” I produced this story as part of our Twin Cities Marathon coverage. It was truly a team effort. The story had a producer, reporter and three photographers work on it. Tom Aviles & I did the initial interview at 7 am, then handed it off to Aristea Brady & Sean Skinner when they were done with live shots… then at 3 as Jeannine finished up, I went back out to finish the story with Dave Porter. Catch all that, phew! At the end, it’s a great story about doing what makes you happy - no matter how long it takes you to do it!
The Twins season is over. Now starts the agonizing time of the year when fans and players reflect on the past season and figure out how to prepare for the next. While most of us don’t suit up and play — there are still things we can learn from.
One of three stories I produced about MJ — a two year old that’s obsessed with the Twins. He even knows the player’s batting stances. Shot by Melissa Martz, coordinated by Cassie Bonstrom.
This is the second story we did on MJ. After we told the Twins about MJ, they invited him to batting practice. He got some unique souvenirs and an experience he’ll always remember.
