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 tune. Enjoy!
Great tune.I've never heard cicadas so steady!In Canada they're more intermittent,not as many perhaps,although I did read that the U.S. was going to experience a huge number of cicadas from the 17 year cycle last summer..
Ethan, my path has crossed with Don's different times over the years and I was fortunate to get to attend one of his retreats at Wildacres, too. Such a great fellow!
I was able to take some workshops from Don Pedi around 2008 & 2009 in Townsend, TN. He’s a remarkable man and musician. I can’t say enough good things about him and his playing. Not only did he teach mountain dulcimer, when he found out I was a newlywed at the time, he passed along some helpful mountain marriage advice. But, that’s a story for another day ; )

Ethan, I have enjoyed your videos! These are tunes I associate with Don P and it is so good to see your play of them.
