A couple of days ago I came across a post from an old friend of mine on another forum site, who lives in Arizona; and I think my new email pen pal also lives in Arizona, I know she lives in one of the desert states that borders Mexico.

Any songs that your parents used to listened to, that sort of pop up like this at times?


Never heard that song. Who did it? What kinda music was it? Rocknroll? Country? Pre Rocknroll pop-crooner type music, or what?

And why the heck did they think Arizona didn't exist? Where they living in their own private Idaho?



If there was, a Grand Canyooooon....

Interesting song. "Arizona" is a metaphor for dreams, and promises unfulfilled.

Reminds of "if that's not lovin me...then all I gotta say ... is God didn't make little green apples, and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime..." a pop song common in the late Sixties on radio...that my own parents also listened to. :)

Is this the song you're referring to?

My parents also liked to watch a lot of sitcoms growing up. Guess what I had for breakfast this morning? (The former, not the latter)

My parents listened to a lot of the Carpenters (especially my mom), Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, and the Newsboys when I was really little. Later they started listening to tapes (cassettes) in the car which is where some of my fondest music related memories come from. That was when they listened to mostly Keith Green (my all-time favorite), Rich Mullins, Phil Keaggy, Amy Grant, DC Talk, Enya, and others, but mainly those. I miss those days.

/insert the entire 70's rock catalogue from Pink Floyd to Black Sabbath mixed with some new wave kinda stuff and early 80s pop.

My parents weren't the best parents in the world but I'm grateful they exposed me to some great music as a kid.

Yes. Thats the song.

Though its another, non duet version by a male singer that I remember hearing.

That version is new to me, even though its obviously also from the same late sixties era.

This is the soundtrack to my 80s childhood. This takes me back. Not listened to these in a while.
