Geocache Description:

For the past couple weeks, I have been listening to the nominees
for the top “49 songs from north of the 49th parallel” for Obama’s
Playlist on CBC radio 2. (see
http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/obamasplaylist/ ) A lot of great Canadian
music was played during that time and it started me onto the idea
of another musical puzzle cache.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED LOCATION.
For this puzzle, you must listen carefully to the Canadian music montage found at this website: (visit link)
Match the song fragments with the correct Canadian musicians/ bands.
Record all the numbers heard within the lyrics for each song fragment and pair them with the correct artist.
Solve the formula to find coordinates to the cache.
48° A . B, C
89° D . E, F
Where:
A = Ian Tamblyn + the sum of Feist
B = Bruce Cockburn – sum of Neil Young + Jane Siberry
C = the sum of Daniel Lanois
D = (Gordon Lightfoot + 1) – the sum of Tragically Hip
E = Stan Rogers + the sum of the Barenaked Ladies – Sarah Harmer
F = Joni Mitchell - Sarah McLachlan + Leonard Cohen

The cache container is a small loc n loc tupperware will a log book and room for small tradeables.
