Geocaching and music!
What better way to pass the time between caches than to listen to some great music. This series is designed to give you a little break while traveling on the highways. The caches are named after bands I like or tunes that happened to be playing when it came time to hide a cache.
None of the hides are meant to be difficult to find.
Drive safe, Cache smart, Have fun!!
Please watch out for barbed wire near ground zero.
Sade
Sade, pronounced "Sha-day", was born in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Her middle name, Folasade, means 'honour confers your crown'. Her parents, Adebisi Adu, a Nigerian lecturer in economics of Yoruba background, and Anne Hayes, an English district nurse, met in London, married in 1955 and moved to Nigeria. Later, when the marriage ran into difficulties, Anne Hayes returned to England, taking four-year-old Sade and her older brother Banji to live with her parents. When Sade was 11, she moved to Holland-on-Sea to live with her mother, and after completing school at 18 she moved to London and studied at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
While in college, she joined a soul band, Pride, in which she sang backing vocals. Her solo performances of the song "Smooth Operator" attracted the attention of record companies and in 1983, she signed a solo deal with Epic Records taking three members of the band, Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale and Paul Denman, with her. Sade and her band produced the first of a string of hit albums. Their debut album Diamond Life appeared in 1984. She is the most successful solo female artist in British history, having sold over 110 million albums worldwide.
