My Music: PARTING THOUGHTS

Franceen and I married in May, 1973, and while we had some good times, the arguments and fighting grew to the point where neither of us was happy. In the summer of 1975, she moved out to live with some girlfriends across town. This song, written August 11, 1975, and recorded around 1978, expresses my feelings at the time. Parting Thoughts.

Franceen had worked for a while, then decided to go back to school. I was still working full time at Fedders Air Conditioning making installation and use manuals, but we were falling further into debt every month, so I took a second job at Builders’ Emporium, similar to Home Depot, in the evenings to try to catch up financially, photo above. I worked in the cash office and didn’t like it much, but it helped our bottom line. Once Franceen moved out, I gradually paid off our debts over the next two years. We divorced in 1976. She went on to new adventures, eventually moving to the Boston area and marrying again. I saw her occasionally when she was in New Jersey, but never regretted our split.
