Pan/music

Famous quotes containing the words pan and/or music:

“A ‘spasm band’ is a miscellaneous collection of a soap box, tin cans, pan tops, nails, drumsticks, and little Negro boys. When mixed in the proper proportions this results in the wildest shuffle dancing, accompanied by a bumping rhythm.”
—For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“La la la, Oh music swims back to me
and I can feel the tune they played
the night they left me
in this private institution on a hill.”
