Mrs j4pos with her musical background did the business on this one. (She did have a little help with Mr Google on the way, though).

My fingers played the computer keyboard like a piano...
And Google sang, oh she sang so sweet...
And the music and coordinates blended together in perfect harmony...

There was a light drizzle this morning, and the birds chirped softly in the mistiness somewhere...
And the cache was exactly where Cism's musical note sheet said it should be...

In > Travel Bug (wanting to go to Richmond)

Out > Razor.

I've been playing piano since I was 7, so the puzzle took me no time at all. Finding the cache, however, took a little longer... in the end I stumbled into a clearing so I could get my cellphone and check the listing for hints, when I discovered it by accident!

At last!!! A really great cache - we enjoyed all the research and finding the cache too. Thanks so much. Took the geocoin and left another one, as well as a travel bug and a soldier to guard the cache.
