St. Paul, Minn. — Ann Reed is now convinced that her song for Minnesota's sesquicentennial may have to be a series of songs. There are so many ideas, so many things about our state that "need" to be included, according to the hundreds of contributors that have made suggestions that Ann thinks she could write a whole series of songs about the state.

In fact, now Ann is going negative and is asking you what things should NOT be included in a song about Minnesota. The final song or songs will be revealed in a concert at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul in early May.

Ann's next regional concert is in Winona at Theatre du Mississippi on Saturday, March 8th. Prior to the show, Ann stopped in the Morning Show studio to update Dale and Jim Ed on her progress.
