The Cache Is Not At the Posted Coordinance

If you are one of the people moving faster than the speed of sound then this cache is for you

This puzzle cache is divided up in to several parts. This is a music exchange cache please post your favorite artist in your log and bring a cd to exchange.

The first thing you will have to do is find out who the artist is. He is still alive and doing performances. He celebrated his 80th in 2005.

Next take his birth date, times the month by the date. Then divide the year by that number, drop the reminder. This number will be the value for “K”. Subtract from there to “A” and add up to “Z”. This will be the key to decrypt the title of the song.
