For my ping list - just something different - here listening to great music from the 1960's and thought you guys my like this as well.

Side note: There was a song a few years back by a female country singer about apocalyptic events - something like Judgement Day (but on Earth). I just can't remember who she was nor the name of the song.

One note: There's an error in the lyrics (as there often is) - I think she sings 'for my sins I apologize' - the I is missing there.

I was surprised to learn that this song originated with her - while she was driving - it came to her. Her mother was riding with her and Chi asked her mother to write it down.

Well, sorry - just always enjoyed it since I discovered it a few years ago and thought you guys might like it too. I had only heard 'Thunder and Lightning' up until I discovered this by accident a few years ago.

I did, and I do.

Thanks for posting! :-)

Might the song you seek be “99 Red Balloons”? Singer, Nena, is not a country singer. She’s from Germany. Found the name here

Again, thanks for posting “Go Like Elijah”

Sharing this with you as you are searching music history. It was often used when Simpson[##] was pinging for those of us who loved the old ones. Alas, that ceased to be.
