Geocache Description:

Mountain Top Medley #13- R&B
This is the Mountain Top Medley geo-art series! It takes you on a tour of the beautiful Catoctin Mountain Area. In order to solve each geocache, you need to answer a question about a genre of music. There are 20 geocaches in the series, 2 bonus caches, a letterbox hybrid and a CITO event to kick it off.

 

BYOP!

These should all be easy finds. Most will be micros and smalls, but there will be a few regulars. They are all close by one another. I recommend solving all of the puzzles first and attempting them all at once, otherwise you may find yourself going back and forth a bit...


Notice that these caches are in the woods and are around poisonous plants, ticks, bugs, etc... Come prepared and watch out for ticks and snakes!

Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated as R&B or RnB, is a genre of popular African-American music that originated in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular. In the commercial rhythm and blues music typical of the 1950s through the 1970s, the bands usually consisted of piano, one or two guitars, bass, drums, saxophone, and sometimes background vocalists. R&B lyrical themes often encapsulate the African-American experience of pain and the quest for freedom and joy. Lyrics focus heavily on the themes of triumphs and failures in terms of relationships, freedom, economics, aspirations, and romance.
