Not just Christian music, but ’80’s top 40.

I spent a LOT of time in that apartment listening to music. The first floor was a walk-up, because there was a basement apartment beneath, that was not quite a basement. We had the third floor apartment, which was the top floor. Not fancy at all, ancient radiators, no air conditioning except those AC boxes that fit in windows. After a year passed, dad was able to get us into a much larger apartment, in a big old building – a classic Chicago brownstone.Īmazing square footage for an apartment. The first year, he, my mom, my little brother, I and our two pet rats lived in a very small apartment. That didn’t work out, but that’s another story. Our family moved out from the Central Valley California city of Modesto to Chicago, so dad could earn a Master’s of Divinity degree. My dad was a graduate student at North Park College and Seminary. I’d already been a Petra fan for two years. In ’85, I turned 13, and was living in Chicago. The only Christian band to have major crossover success was Stryper, and Stryper would not achieve their success until the following year, with their 3rd release, “To Hell With the Devil.” That was in ’86. Petra was very popular in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) scene, and had been for years, but was not at all well known to the public at large. (Petra means “rock” in Greek, so I’ve heard) I had no idea the song was a cover. This is a really fun song! I first heard it back in 1985, on an album called “Beat The System,” by a Christian Rock group called Petra. a musical one, yes, but occasionally back into my past.

If you are new to my covers posts, or to my blog in general, I want to let you know that I like to ramble on a bit.
