Down the River I Go - Mountain Dulcimer

From the Cicada Sessions:
“Down the River I Go” on mountain dulcimer w/ cicada accompaniment.
Learned this one from Don Pedi ca. 2008. Bing Futch also influenced how I play this version. Enjoy!

That's brilliant!I'm eagerly awaiting the 2024 emergence of 2 different broods at the same time to play along.

[@TNBritches]

They’re starting to emerge here. Hopefully they’ll pop up in your neck of the woods soon. They make good band mates because they’re not picky with what key to play in and they don’t roll their big bug eyes if you miss a note.🤣. Happy strumming my friend.👍

I think the Cicada's are asking for an encore.

All your missing is a banjo and a mandolin, and the washboard, a jug and a stand up bass!!! I forgot the guitar!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@TNBritches]

The jug was off camera. It might not take too many guesses as to what was in it ; )

Sick Dulcimer, this is very inspiring for a new young player such as myself.. Greetings from Éire, what is your favourite song to play on the dulcimer. I will subscribe to your channel, spread the love man

[@TNBritches]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching from your side of the pond, Holly. I don’t have one favorite song to play because there are too many to list. Take care and happy strumming 😊

@@TNBritches Oh tell um to hush up. Seriously, we had them in Texas and I know those bugs can be deafeningly loud, lived in several different parts of the country and Texas ranked a 10 for locust infestation. Thats what we called them, tho its incorrect
