unknown photographer
This photo was taken in the late '80s back stage at a shoot for Vee Corporation. It was a commercial for the live stage version of Sesame Street. I was on the lighting crew and got to meet the biggest of big celebrities, Big Bird himself.
I was reminded of this picture because I recently saw Bill Carlson, the shoot's director, for the first time in many years. Bill did an event at Barnes & Noble Highland to promote his excellent new book, The Beatles! A One-Night Stand in the Heartland.
The book features stories about the day The Beatles came to Minnesota and the photos 17-year-old Bill took that day. Bill & Denise have put together a great document of The Fabs visit. A must-have for all Beatlemaniacs. For more info, see these links:
