Geocache Description:

CACHE NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES.


This Beatles cache series is to have you either reacquaint yourself with their music, or introduce you to it (as if).  Many of the clues for the coordinates can be found from merely looking up lyrics.  But, for some, you have to actually listen.  I'll count on you to know some grammar, parts of speech, count beats, add and subtract, and even count time.  (And don't be surprised if you start singing along.)  THIS CACHE IS VERY FLAT AND CAN ONLY FIT A LOG.  This one requires a little experience, extreme thoroughness, or great guessing.  Please replace just as I have hidden.  BEWARE, MUGGLES ABOUND! 

 

The cache is near a library, and it is very near the edge of a road.:
N 39° 16.ABC
W 076° 44.DEF

A= On the "White" album, number of letters suggested in the pronoun of what we should do in the road.

B= On Let It Be, this many of us "have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead."

C= On Revolver, total number of different men mentioned in Taxman PLUS number of times "ooh" is sung in Got to Get You Into My Life.

D= Number of Silver Beetles who became permanent members of The Beatles.

E= On Let It Be, in I, Me, Mine, number of times George switches time signatures (e.g. 4/4 to 3/4 = 1).

F= On Let It Be, number of different things "everybody" did in I've Got a Feeling.
