*****Not at the posted coordinates*****
Yes, I will admit it, I am old enough to remember this song and
was reminded of it as I was listening to my music collection the
other day.
Back in the 60's I was a big fan of folk music, Kingston Trio,
Peter Paul and Mary, Judy Collins, Joan Baez and the like. I
realized that a lot of you may not of heard of these entertainers
and I though I would give you a chance to listen to one of my
favorites. I hope you find it entertaining.
The following are links to YouTube where I found the song
already had been uploaded. To solve the puzzle listen to the song,
answer the questions and put the values into the equation to get
the final coordinates. There are not any tricks or things hidden,
my main objective is to entertain you and let you hear something
you may not have ever heard or you may have heard but forgotton. I
hope you enjoy it.
The questions are based on the YouTube version and also apply to
the version that is on the album The Best of Arlo Guthrie. There
may be differences in other versions of the song so please listen
to one of these. The song runs about twenty minutes so sit down
with a piece of paper and enjoy.
