Hello Family.

I pray this finds you and yours safe and well.

What does Matt have for me today??? Do I have an album for you to explore. It has "An Opera" in the title, which is defined as a dramatic work in one or more acts, set to music for singers and instrumentalists. A little different album format and about 45 minutes of listening time. Theme - Young woman, already spoken for, approaches young single man (aka "Trouble").

DAVID PORTER - VICTIM OF THE JOKE?... AN OPERA

The 1971 concept album, Victim of the Joke?...An Opera is the third solo LP from the acclaimed producer, songwriter, and singer David Porter. Listed as one of the "100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time" by Rolling Stone, Porter established his career at Stax, working alongside writing partner Isaac Hayes. This ambitious LP stands as a testament to Porter’s endless creative spirit. Victim of the Joke pairs original pop-infused soul music and covers (including an infectious rendition of the Beatles' "Help!") with interludes of dialogue to tell the story of a love affair.

Enjoy!

Take care, be safe and God bless

-Matt
