- Date: 1963
- Contributors: Jim Brown (consultant); Lawrence E. Dawson (researcher); Frank Norick (researcher)
- Language: Southeastern Pomo (pom)
- Place: Oakland, CA
- Description: All proceeding tracks performed by Jim Brown. All tracks were distributed on California Indian Music Project, North-central region, tape 16, side A.
Tracks:
(1) 'Sulphur Bank Pomo song'
(2) 'Fire Song for the Bighead Dance': The Fire Song would be accompanied by the cocoon rattle in actual context. Also, such a dance song would normally be sung by two singers who spell on another as they tire and by a group of (4-6) shouters who sing the rhythm chorus and add "how ha!" at the end of each song. The dance songs are usually accompanied by a log foot drum mounted in the dance house floor (here substituted by pounding on the kitchen table at Brown's house) as well as split-stick clappers held by the two singers. While singing this, the performer would slowly make a circle around the fire and center pole carrying and using his cocoon rattle (from collectors' notes). Meighan and Riddell (1972) is the best single source on the Bole-Maru cult, even though its focus is on more westerly versions of it.
(3) 'Bullhead Dance Song from Sulphur Bank': This song is also heard at Grindstone and is Wintun Style (from collector's notes). Title above is given by Brown on the tape. The collector's notes label it "Dance song for the Tuya or Bighead Dance of the Bole Ceremony."
