"Rather be a hammer than a nail..."
from El Condor Pasa by Paul Simon,
not a Rogers and Hammerstein show tune...

Armand Hammer (1898-1990) was Chairman
of Occidental Petroleum and the only man to
ever be a personal friend of both Vladimir Lenin
AND Ronald Reagan. And, briefly, he did own
the Arm & Hammer Co...

The Banjo virtuoso on the Beverley Hillbillies
theme was Earl Scruggs and he is the master of
the three-finger style, not clawhammer.

The Dillards were the fictitious Darling Family
but on the Andy Griffith Show (Episode #88 and
following).

Next!

Greetings:

Don't know about y'all, but I'd rather be a hammer than a nail, yes I would.
I can't think of the name of that Rodgers and Hammerstein show tune.....
What really confuses me is the difference between Armand Hammer and Arm &
Hammer. Thor's hammer's name is: Mjolnir. Remember the Dillards (Darling
Family) on the Beverly Hillbillies and their awesome clawhammer banjo
playing? My favorite shark is the Hammer Head. My favorite hammer is:
the ball peen. And finally, wouldn't Sikhote Aline be the biggest hammer of
all since it impacted in the land of the hammer and sickle? (I know, pretty
lame!)

Sorry,
Phil Whitmer
