TRIBAL RHYTHMS - THE FORTY NINE:

The powwow is over for the night. Many of the people have folded up their lawn chairs and are heading back to their family's campsite, maybe to a camper, or a teepee, a van or a car, for a good rest. Tomorrow will be another day of dance and music, friendship and contests, good food, tradition and respect.

But not everyone at the powwow is ready for sleep. Now's the time for the 49. That's the name for social dances, usually taking place after the powwow is over, sometimes until the rays of the morning sun are just peeking over the horizon. In a secluded spot somewhere in or near the camp, couples and young singles will gather, maybe around a fire. A drum might appear. If there's no drum, a cardboard box, or even the hood of a car will do. I myself have dented a few hoods in my lifetime.

You might hear such vocables as "be bop a lu la" in a forty-nine song. Or how about this earnestly romantic lyric: "Way, hey ya, hey ya. Oh, yes, I love you, honey dear. I don't care if you've been married 15 times, I'll get you yet! I miss my sweetheart, I miss my sweetheart. she's in jail! Way, ya hey ya, hey ya."

sounds familiar????
