Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but it is close by.

My second cache in a series dedicated to great music I happen to like. While no night train is currently stopping at this station, FrontRunner South will in a couple of years.

This is a bit larger container with room for small trade items, and it would be great if people left pathtags and coins for next finders. To start I have left a couple pathtags and one small item for the first 3 visitors.



Please be very careful when retrieving the cache so you are not noticed.

You can find Diana Krall's rendition of Night Train on YouTube with these notes by kaarekjohnsen:
Night Train was composed by Oscar Washington & Jimmy Forrest (with lyrics by Lewis P. Simpkins), based on a composition by Duke Ellington. Diana Krall plays with Christian McBride, bass, and Karriem Riggins, drums. From a program in the series "Elvis Costello with ...", 2008, where Diana Krall was the guest, and Elton John stepped in as program leader instead of Elvis Costello. Diana Krall was a friend to Oscar Peterson for the last five years of his life (he died in december 2007).

This song can also be found on the CD Artist's Choice -- Music That Matters to Her (Chosen by Diana Krall).
