 * I’ve got a WP_Query that goes like this:
    `WP_Query("post_type=songs&showposts
   =50&orderby=title&order=asc");`
 * I want to filter out results to those that match a certain letter that’s passed
   into the function where I have this query.
 * I know how to do this with mySQL, but was wondering if there’s a LIKE operator
   available in the WP_Query parameters. If not, how could I do this through filters?
