This was actually composed for a renaissance faire that never got off the ground

It has been used for a summer camp

I offer it then for Mudcat Radio...somehow it seems appropriate for an electronic forum.

"Friends"

Can I call you friend, although we've barely met?
Can I call you friend, we only met today
Can I call you friend, as we go on our way
Can I call you friend, as we end our day?

I do not even know your names,
we do not speak, nor dress the same
We're here today, and gone tomorrow
Why should this be cause for sorrow?
Unless I call ye friend?

So shall I call ye friend, although we've barely met?
Shall I call ye friend, we only met today
Shall I call ye friend, as we go on our way?
Shall I call ye friend, as we end our day?

I was a stranger when I came to town
You bid me welcome and you sat me down
We sang and danced and banished sorrow
And as today becomes tomorrow, I know I've found a friend

So shall I call ye friend, I knoh we've barely met?
Shall I call ye friend, a friend I met today
Shall I call ye friend, as we go on our way?
Shall I call ye friend, as we end our day?

Now raise your glass and pass it 'round
and drink a toast to the MudCat down
And as we part, for our tomorrows
Let Joy remain, instead of sorrow!

For I will call ye friend, although we've barely met!
I will call ye friend, a friend I met today!
I will call ye friend, as we go on our way
I will call ye friend, as we end our day
As we end our day...
as we end our day...
Yes, I will call ye friend.

That's really beautiful, MMario! Will you be sending Max a tape, so we can hear the tune?

You've inspired me, although mine is much simpler and I stole the tune, hey....it the phoakie thing to do, right???**BG**

I hope you don't mind me adding to your thread, rather than a different one for each entry. I figure it'll be easier for Max and Bert.

Anyway, to the tune of Stand on the Shore, my humble effort:

Cats now our show is over
Max and Bert are done,
And, if you tune in next Wednesday
You can hear it all, again.

Yes, they'll sing on the Net,
Yes, they'll talk on the Net,
And, they'll archive the show
And, be there forever more.

Cats now our show is over
Go back to the threads
Or join us in the Mudcat chat
And we'll go on about the show

Yes, we'll chat on the Net,
Yes, we'll rant on the Net,
Through that magic Tavern door
In the threads forever more.

REPEAT FIRST TWO

Please note: Wherever the word "Net" is used, "Cat" could be substituted.

Max, tape will go out in a day or two. This is fun! katlaughing

yes- I'll send a tape -- if Max will verify an address??? (Since I STILL don't know if he got the LAST tape I sent--hint)

the only other thing I could do would be a wav, and I don't really like the quality I get on the 'puter.

Did Max ever get Kat's tape on this? Kat...did you ever send it? I'd love to hear this...
