Unlike my last cicada song entry, here is a short sample of just one cicada - up close and personal. I tend to pick up wayward ones who have missed the trees and found themselves on the sidewalk or parking lot - not a strategic spot for a cicada. So twixt the sidewalk and the tree, we stopped by the microphone, one cidada and I.
There is a brief period of silence at the beginning - my little friend decided to crawl away from the mic, so it took some time to retrieve him. Little did he know the tape was rolling when he decided to take a break - performers are like that sometimes.
