Reminds me of a Peter Paul & Mary tune

Roger Smith said...

I saw them in person at Trinity U., in San Antonio, and remember how they sang...

"If I had a hammer,
I'd find me a tent stake."

That must have been a later lyric

I handled their lighting for part

of a hootenany tour they did very

early in the 60s for several weeks

The company name was Trio Concerts

Some of the nicest folks to work for

I see Peter Yarrow now & then in NY

He has attended our Friday night in

Chinatown gathering a few times

He spearheds a youth outreach music

program for underprivileged kids

Looks more like a timber framer's hammer for driving pegs into timbers.

Would also work well

smashing watermelons

"Sledge-O-Matic"

The year escapes me, but at their concert @ Trinity U., after the show, Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey came back out and hugged everyone in the audience--literally. They didn't miss a single fan. Mary Travers did not re-appear, and her partners quietly deflected questions about why.

I'm not at all surprised Peter is the kind of guy to work an outreach program like this.
