Thanks Jed. I must get a life! I just coded up this little ditty and
put it in cron.hourly. 10PM just rolled around and I was greeted by
the mighty cuckoo.

#!/bin/bash
sub() {
        hrplus=$4
        hr=${hrplus%%:*}
        if [[ $hr > 12 ]]; then
                hr=`expr $hr - 12`
        fi
        while [ $hr -gt 0 ]; do
                play /home/collins/cuckoo-clock-one-chime-ANON.au &> /dev/null
                hr=$[$hr-1]
        done
}
now=`date`
sub $now

I don't have crickets until fall when they try to come in from the patio.
