And, of course, I forgot the bats.<br /><br />Teresa -- They are the very essence of nostalgia.<br /><br />Leslie -- The crickets are welcome any time in my home. I was just at a neighbor's house. There were crickets everywhere. Lucky woman!<br /><br />Islagringo -- Ours are black. They remind me of the crickets up north in size -- not in sound.<br /><br />Babs -- Our coast crickets must be far more discreet in their conjugal habits. Something about SMA -- I suspect.<br /><br />Calypso -- They could use a better mix technician. Of course, the crickets are strictly analog. No compression.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-20169681844820340082009-11-30T17:16:47.366-06:002009-11-30T17:16:47.366-06:00crickets actually sound better with a bass section...crickets actually sound better with a bass section like the cars going by with the BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!<br /><br />Enjoy Amigo.Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705486544074674388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-17125410226417168252009-11-30T15:30:15.524-06:002009-11-30T15:30:15.524-06:00I had to laugh.

Heavens they are loud at night - your characterization of their size is right on. <br />However now, and for the last two months or so, we have copulating crickets.....lolling on the geranium leaves and everywhere else in the garden. You cannot see a single cricket. They are in pairs, as in one on top of the other. Lordy if they all produce, look out - it will not be a symphony but a cacophony of noise.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-62037592833357969112009-11-30T10:40:47.042-06:002009-11-30T10:40:47.042-06:00In Minnesota, we had the giant black crickets.

I find their late-night serenade to be soothing and peaceful. <br /><br />When we moved into our rental home, it was full of crickets. Mexicans believe that killing crickets is bad luck. So my hubby gathered as many crickets as he could in a plastic bag and released them in the empty lot behind our house. <br /><br />We still get visits from crickets but my children and I refuse to kill them. Not for fear of bad luck, but because they may be descendents of Pepé Grillo (Jiminy Cricket).Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084393882026836564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-50537505304432236722009-11-30T09:04:20.473-06:002009-11-30T09:04:20.473-06:00i love the sound of crickets and that of frogs. ev...i love the sound of crickets and that of frogs. every time i hear them they remind me of visiting my grandma en el campo (out in the country) when i was a little girl in cuba.<br /><br />have a great one senor algodon.<br /><br />teresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-42911301225607415852009-11-30T08:13:29.150-06:002009-11-30T08:13:29.150-06:00Wait!

Year 'round bookings, usually get a standing ovation followed by just a resounding clap or two, then replaced by a new act when you LEAST expect it.
