Koko Taylor - I’m a woman
Hi Bonham,
I’m back on the forum after a long break…
With reference to Bon Scott, I live about 10km from the port of Fremantle, Western Australia where Bon grew up.
In honour of him they commissioned a statue of him in the harbour. We often went there for fish and chips but that all ended with the virus scare. I used to work with an old guy who was one of the top drummers in the local 60’s bands. He knew Bon well and used to give him drumming lessons.
Here is a link:
I don’t remember seeing that statue in 1997, though i did venture out back from the little hotel / B&B i stayed on for 2 days, then turned left along Riverside RD and followed it towards the harbor.
But i hope to be back in style soon and then i will see the statue as i will have plenty of time to explore AU, and not just a day and a half waiting for the ship i engaged May 8 1997 ( my first time as engineer on a ship )
Actually i hope to be back, and never leave again, but the whole matter are up to the lotto gods, otherwise i am not going anywhere a tank of gasoline cant take me.
Wellp, if anyone’s interested, “AC/DC: Let There Be Rock” (1980) is currently (ha! see what I did there?) making the rounds.

I have been trying to contact atbglenn for some time now. A Google email returns a reply that the recipient’s inbox is overflowing and the message cannot be received.
Our last contact was from June last year.
I hope everything is ok with Glenn and he’s among us again.
Been listening to quite a bit of synthwave recently. This particular one weaves in elements of #metalwave and #metalsynth into it…
It’s not exotic, just a good old tune …
The Egles - New Kid In Town
Some more link.
“New Kid in Town” takes on two meanings. The literal interpretation involves the experience of a band becoming famous and being treated differently in society, because they are now seen as celebrities. As time passes by, another up-and-coming band becomes more popular than them, causing them to fade away into history.
The song can also be applied to a break-up in a relationship, where a person leaves because they found someone better.
“New Kid in Town” won the Eagles a Grammy Award for Best Arrangement for Voices in 1977.
“My Way” on a talk show from about 25 years ago in my country:
it’s not a Youtube. Please point to 02:10 min.
And the original with Paul Anka:
How this song w/o Frank Sinatra:
Excellent track also with Elvis, Robbie Williams, Shirley Bassey, Il Divo etc.
Dear friends and lovers of older music.
I’m sorry to have to tell you, but this is real life.
