Geocache Description:

This is my fourth in a series of caches dedicated to my absolute favorite singer, STING.

Gorden Matthew Thomas Sumner, better known by his stage name of Sting, was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, in 1951. He trained as a teacher and taught for two years, but gave it up to his first love of music. He played bass in several jazz bands, including Phoenix Jazzmen, the Newcastle Big Band, and Last Exit. He gained his nickname after he performed wearing a black and yellow sweater with hooped stripes while onstage with the Phoenix Jazzmen. Bandleader Gordon Solomon thought that the sweater made him look like a bee, which prompted the nickname "Sting."

Sting rose to fame as the lead singer and bass player for The Police, who became globally popular in the late 1970s. Their style of music was unique for that time, a style that was influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz.

After the breakup of The Police in the early 1980s, Sting undertook a very successful solo career. He continues to write and perform to a huge worldwide fan base.

Sting has been my favorite musician for a long time. He is a truly educated musician - rare in today's pop market! This cache is named after the title track of his 1999 album, Brand New Day. The song "Brand New Day" was used for CBS' The Early Show from 1999–2006.

(I don't pretend to understand everything that Sting does. This video falls in that category. A weird futuristic detergent commercial??)

And also, because I'm a fan of Family Guy, I'll include another video poking fun at Sting. Peter Griffin states that you can only understand the last three words of the lines in Sting's songs. I don't agree, but it's still funny!

Family Guy "Burn"

The cache itself is placed in a great spot where you can watch a brand new day dawn. If you've never watched the sun rise over the ocean, I highly recommend it. Cache is a small camoed jar.

I also placed this cache to help celebrate ILM Cachers' 1000th cache find. Therefore, I gifted the FTF rights to them, and they have already found it.

Happy hunting!
