Under the Engineering Workgroup, I've been creating core articles about various tools. Surely some might provide musical inspiration: now that I have a hammer (tool), perhaps someone would create an article for the PPM "If I had a hamer". There are hammers used as percussion instruments. Surely symbolic hammers must be in the title of some operas.

Prime Minister, you can't take the bull by the horns if you're grasping the nettle. I mean, if you grasped the nettle with one hand, you could take the bull by one horn with the other hand, but not by both horns because your hand wouldn't be big enough, and if you took a bull by only one horn it would be rather dangerous because...'

Don't forget the old-timers who used to play on musical saws.

And I've seen Tahitians run a water tumbler up and down the strings of a plain old-fashioned guitar to make  it sound like a Hawaiian steel guitar (?)....

"I see," said the blind man as he picked up a hammer and saw.

Didn't I start an article about Peter, Pooh, and Magpie a couple of years ago?

And, of course, an article is needed about Pete Seeger if we're gonna be doin' any serious-type hammerin'....

"If I had a hamer".
