ROCK BAND #71 - BILLY JOEL Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jtmlam59: Rock band series is done. Tired of negative logs from fellow catchers. We have not been as active over the past 18 months due to family medical issues requiring a lot of travel out of state (father dying of cancer), moving parents into assisted living, helping dad who is on hospice care, and getting their home cleaned out and ready to sell. We have had no time to maintain caches, so I am just going to archive all of them. 😡

To other catchers who know what we have been going through and those who have enjoyed this series, we appreciate your visits and wish you the best. Cache on! 😎

Another artist we both liked growing up. Like Elton John, we like his 70's music the best. It all started with Piano Man with us. What a career this artist has had.


It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum

Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us all feelin' all right





So you are relaxing at home getting ready to put on some culture club tunes and "what's that noise?!!! Oh no, not another cache posting! It's probably that Rock Band series again. Golly, what's a cacher to do? But don't blame us, "WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE!" "HONESTY", that was started back around the year 2000. Decision is easy, grab your IPOD and get "MOVIN' OUT" to "ALLENTOWN" (B&C trail) near "NO MAN'S LAND". Billy is waiting. So "KEEP THE FAITH" and load up your IPOD with the tunes "IT'S STILL ROCK AND ROLL TO ME", "ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG", AN INNOCENT MAN", and "THE DOWNEASTER ALEXA".
Now "IT'S A MATTER OF TRUST", once you get to GZ. "THIS NIGHT" is a good night for caching, but you don't need to think "I GO TO EXTREMES", because this is a fairly typical hide. There is no "PRESSURE". You don't need to be a "BIG SHOT", but you can "TELL HER ABOUT IT" after you make the find. If you have trouble, just post your DNF. We are always generous with hints after cachers post DNF's. So enought of this, time for you to start "KEEPING THE FAITH", because you too can be FTF! "AND SO IT GOES"; Good luck and happy caching!
