It's Just Part of Me

Introduction

This song was written by my wife. I supplied the melody for song and just a few of the lyrics. Here’s my wife’s explanation for writing it. “I wrote this song at the end of fall in Rochester New York, a few weeks after November 19, 1976, our wedding day. As the first snowfall left its coating in white, I thought of the path I took as a single woman out on my own, to marriage, to my husband, a poet, artist musician. The end of one road traveled when single was the beginning of new roads ahead as a couple.”

   The actual song itself is available only in spoken form, as requested by Philip.

Response by John

The last GEM was titled It’s Just Part of Me. It was a poem written by Carol, Phil’s wife. And thinking about it, that’s 47 or 48 years ago. The wedding of 1976. They’ve had a wonderful relationship, and that was a beautiful poem, Carol. Thank you.
