Dead Leaves....... Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Leeroy71: I'm archiving all of my caches due to a change in circumstances, on-going problems with pain/ injury and following feedback from a fellow cacher.

Thanks to all of you who visited and enjoyed my caches and to those who didn't enjoy them, sorry but I tried my best. It's time to let somebody else have a go.

When able in the future, I still hope to get out and about finding the odd cache.

Geocache Description:

A guess-who puzzle cache to identify one of my all time heroes

I think this is the trickiest of the puzzle caches i've done recently.......only time will tell

The coords shown are not for the cache itself, but are for a zebra crossing in a local supermarket car park. Which, if you view from above in Googlearth, is a big clue in itself. I'm just too generous with my clues today!!

So, who's my main man??
Person X is the youngest of 10 from Detroit. He is a seventh son, from a seventh son.

Person X was married (now divorced) to his big sister!?! (so the story goes....)

Person X is an accomplished furniture upholsterer/ Restorer.

Person X appeared in the movie Cold Mountain (with Nicole Kidman & Jude law) and had a brief, but highly publicised, romantic relationship with one of the actresses.

Person X had an involvement in a fairly recent James Bond film.

Person X has been made a special "Nashville Music Ambassador" by the Nashville Major.

Person X is ranked in the Rolling Stone Magazines ""The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". (not high enough though!!!)

Person X has collaborated with artists as diverse as The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Alicia Keys, Bob Dylan, Electric Six, Insane Clown Posse, and Loretta Lynn, to name but afew.

Hopefully by now you have identified who person X is, here are a few questions on him.
Person X's year of birth?= ABCD

Person X's ranking in the Rolling Stone Magazines ""The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"?= EF

Number of letter 'n's in person X's full birth name?= G

Number of Grammy Awards Person X has won (as a two-piece)?= H

Year Person X married his, so called, 'big sister'??= IJKL

This will give you 12 variables (A-L)

The cache can be found at the following location;
N DA° (J-C)G.EHG W 000° DF.L(B-I)(K-G)
