Tin Sing

Famous quotes containing the words tin and/or sing:

“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.”

“I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,”
