   Don Coleman, Canada’s Premiere AC/DC Vocalist has recorded the song ‘Women, Whiskey & Rock’n'Roll’ to celebrate the life and spirit of Bon Scott. You can listen to the song by visiting the dedicated website at: http://www.myspace.com/doncoleman (if not in blue just copy & paste into your browser).

   The song has been airing daily on Australia’s Rebel FM Network ( 40 stations in Queensland / NSW) plus has been airing weekly on PERTH 107.3 FM and Twin Cities 89.7 FM on specific shows (more coming on board everyday). The latter two stations are close to Fremantle, Western Australia where there was a concert last weekend to unveil a statue of Bon Scott. At this concert , one of the bands performing was the re-formed ‘Party Boys’. Members of the band , Vince Lovegrove (former bandmate of Bon in ‘The Valentines’), Aussie Legend - Kevin Borich and ‘Angels’ drummer Buzz Bidstrup, all think this song is a ‘ripper’. Also on the list of great responses came from Susan Masino, published author of ‘Let There Be Rock’ ( a book on Bon & AC/DC) and President of the Bon Scott Fan Club, Doug Thorncroft who loved the song. Don, Susan and Doug were on WRUW 91.1 FM last week to do on air interviews, on a show that was dedicated to the memory of Bon Scott, and to launch the song in the USA. Last w/e, Don did other radio interviews when the song aired on Newcap FM Net station K-Rock 105.5, Charlottetown, PEI., Canadian Broadcasting Corp’s 106.1 FM, Moncton, NB and 98.9 Big John FM , St. John, NB.

   Don has been receiving offers from : England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA , to front many bands and to do tours. One such offer came from the original frontman for AC/DC , Dave Evans who also performed in Fremantle at the concert. Also this week , I received a request for the song from long time friend of Bon’s and long time bassist of Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Daisley.

   There are numerous stations worldwide who are coming onboard to air this great song and lots of great media coverage. With the anniversary of Bon’s death and the Statue unveiling, it is a timely release. I’m looking forward to hear that you will consider doing an article on Don, the song , Bon and the statue event in Fremantle.

   I’m also including a link to Don’s performance clips of his AC/DC material from last summer - http://youtube.com/watch?v=WlAjOwCylmI .
