K/mentertainer March 25, 1967
As you can see The Monkees have become extremely popular.
See what a lot of money The Monkees made in their concerts! Compare that to the millions top acts are taking in now. The prices of the tickets, probably 5, 6 or 7 dollars.
Blue's Theme still hanging on to the #1 spot. The only new song on this K/MEN survey that grabs me is Sunshine Girl-Parade. That is my pick for the week.

The highest new song in the top 10 Live by The Merry-Go-Round also one of my favorites.

Once again the K/MEN balloon!
Articles by the new K/MEN Robert E. Walker and Dave McCormick. No pictures and time slots yet, so we'll have to see who is still at the station. We know Johnny Darin and Bobby West are still here. Fred Kiml is also mentioned in an article.
#1 this week Blues Theme-The Arrows, same as on KFXM. I really like the top 10 this week. Almost every type of popular music at the time is represented. Even Acapulco Gold sneaked into the top 10
My picks this week. Buy For Me The Rain-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and MyBack Pages-Byrds

Favorite KFXM DJs
Favorite KFXM DJs
On my July 19th posting I listed my favorite DJ’s who worked for both KFXM and K/MEN. These were #6 Don McCoy #5 Jonny Bruce #4 Doug Collins #3 Mark Denis #2 Bruce Chandler #1 Johnny Helm. To qualify for this list they had to work at both stations.
Now the KFXM favorites who never worked at K/MEN (as far as I know).
My list starts in 1966 so anyone who worked before this time I never did get a chance to listen to anyone before this. KFXM airchecks are just not available!!
#6 Chris Roberts Mid-Day Tiger in his baseball gear
#5 Johnny Kaye
#4 Dick Lyons
#3 Gary Marshall
#2 Bob B. Blue
#1 Danny Dare
I received a comment from Danny. He is now retired in Hawaii.

The "First" Single and A Rare Single
If you enjoy other entertainment besides Inland Empire radio, you can check out my other blog http://djsgone.blogspot.com/ I post my other interests besides radio there. This is my latest at the "Underground Vault..."
After collecting Superman comic books, I started to collect records. The first single I bought was appropriate. Batman Theme by Marketts. It was no longer on the charts, it was in the cheapie bin at Lyle's Record City. 39 cents plus tax. And yes, my name and initials went on the record and sleeve.
Wipeout by The Surfaris on the Princess Label. Bought this in the last few years. I think I paid a quarter for it at a garage sale.

The Light-Music Box
1967 The Light had a hit on K/MEN and KFXM with Music Box. On KFXM it was a double sided hit. On the KFXM survey "Back Up" was listed as the flip side.
Music Box hit #1 on K/MEN. On KFXM it made it to #2.

Happy Together-Turtles #1 Blues Theme-Arrows debuts #4 in the top10. Favorites this week. Yellow Balloon, Break On Through-The Doors
Anyone remember the Rainy Daze song (#23). It didn't get too high on the charts.
Like the Nupepa?

K/MEN's first
"Huckleberry" Chuck Clemans played the first record on K/MEN and it was Chip Chip by Gene McDaniels. The story I head was that they were supposed to chip away at KFXM's ratings. And they did.
KFXM Tiger Mag March 10, 1967
One of my least favorite Tiger Mag covers. Couldn't they have put a little more interesting picture on the cover?
2nd week on the survey Blue's Theme-Davie Allen & The Arrows. It stopped The Beatles from having another #1 song on KFXM. #28 Something Stupid-Nancy & Frank Sinatra Highest debut this week. My personal pick #40 Western Union-Five Americans.
