Geocache Description:


~ Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing ~

My caches are named after songs by a singer/songwriter/musician I really admire ~ Neil Young.

With over 60 albums since the late 60's he remains significant today in music, renewable energies, environmental issues, supporting those less fortunate and other charitable causes.

A few days ago on the 12th July, 2019 he played a great concert with Bob Dylan in Hyde Park, London.

Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing is #13 in the series.

It was first performed in 1967 when Neil was a member of the Buffalo Springfield band.

A line in the song is “With pencils and paper just counting the score”, this Cache contains a bunch of pencils in case you don’t bring one and it was inspired in brotherhood to Yurts nearby "Pen Cache" which I found today near the Golf Range.

Essentially and sadly this is a song about school-yard bullying, where Clancy used to sing in such fine voice but was heckled and put down so that he never sang again. I've located the cache outside the Sports Hall where hopefully teamwork and camaraderie are in full swing. Let’s have the conversation. Love each other.

This is replacement cache #1. The prior incarnation GZ became very over grown and strewn with rubbish - not a nice place.
