Famous quotes containing the word mixed:

    “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)
