Geocache Description:


Have you been itchin' to solve a mystery?

Each year I come up with at least one mystery hide. Occasionally it's a couple of hides. Like most COs I think my fellow geocaching cohorts will follow my logic and make this a quick solution. However, I'm currently at a 50/50 percentage rate of individuals want to be nudge in the right direction.

Rock n' Roll is a genre of popular music that evolved in the United States during the early 1950s. The origins are rooted in a blending of black musical genres, mainly rhythm and blues, with stylistic influences from gospel, jazz, boogie-woogie, electric blues, swing, and folk music. I could go on about Ohio's disc jockey Alan Freed, early influences, and the British Invasion, but I won't.

Emerson Lake and Palmer, Curtis Mayfield, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, The Kinks, Yes, The White Stripes, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Styx, Lucinda Williams, ZZ Top, Porcupine Tree, Motörhead, & Squirrel Nut Zippers.

2Pac, The New York Dolls, Black Sabbath, Dire Straits, Buddy Guy, The Clash, Marvin Gaye, Radiohead, The Four Tops, Everclear, John Hiatt, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Soundgarden, MC5, The Yardbirds, & Grateful Dead.

Seven Mary Three, The Doors, Jethro Tull, Social Distortion, Audioslave, Sly and the Family Stone, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Traffic, The Band, Booker T. and the MGs, Leonard Cohen, Cream, Thin Lizzy, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Rainbow, & Prozac for Lovers.

Talking Heads, Queen, Live, Foo fighters, Eels, Collective Soul, Cake, Widespread Panic, Dropkick Murphys, U2, Tom Waits, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Genesis (w/Peter Gabriel), Amy Winehouse, Van Morrison, Santana, & Roxy Music.

AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Joe Cocker, Weezer, Bush, Cracker, Metallica, Temple of the Dog, John Lee Hooker, The Replacements, & The Ramones are a few of the albums I own. And I don't want to hear anything about any artist or band on the list that isn't really from the Rock n' Roll genre.

You'll need to solve this mystery that's not located at the posted coordinates. This cache is similar, but somewhat different to a cache I put out once before but with a bit of a twist this time around. Attributes are correct with the possible exception being the D/T. The CO of a mystery typically thinks it may be somewhat higher or lower. This cache has been placed to help promote GCB81HA - Midwest Geobash in Wauseon, Ohio.
