RICHMOND, Va. Desiree Roots is no stranger to the music of Ella Fitzgerald. In 2017, Roots wrote and performed a tribute show celebrating the singerâs 100
th-birthday. So sheâs right at home with this production. Ella and Her Fella Frank was written over 20 years by Randy Strawderman, who is no longer with us, and so it was re-written by Bo Wilson but the same concept off from Randy Strawderman, Roots said.

“If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive.” ~Barry Lopez
Storytelling is the theme this week – on stage, in song, at the movies, as an art. What is the story you need more than food? I’m sure you’ll find it out there – if not this week, then another. Keep looking – for you’ll find meaningful stories in the very earth around you, in the people we can now run into, in the air you breathe. We all have stories from our ancestors, from our childhood, from the pandemic. Tell yours. Someone might need to hear it. And this week, keep your ears open for the one you need to hear.
