Lynn Bryson of KFXM and K/men

An email I received awhile back. If anyone has information feel free to contact Casey or me.

Hey man,
Kind of a random story, but I'll tell it anyway as I'm hoping you may have actually heard my dad on the radio, back in the day.

I was watching Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and in one of the scenes the main character gets a call about his tv show from a man named Larry Golberg. This was one of my dad's bosses he used to talk about when he worked for hannah barbera and with danny hutton. Anyway I google that and it eventually leads me to your blog with lynn bryson and Big Mean Drag Machine.

If you know or remember anything about my dad or know how to go about finding his records/memorbillia I would really appreciate anything you could say. He passed away 3 years ago and always had crazy stories to tell about his DJ days and his records. Anyway hopefully that's enough to wet your whistle. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks,
Casey Bryson

Hello-
I wish I had, but never did hear your dad. I didn't start listening to the radio until 1966 and he had left KFXM and KMEN by then.
If you want me to, I can post a blog entry with your inquiry and email address, and you might get some responses.
I also collect records, and I know quite a few people who also collect, and I'll ask. Let me know if you want me to post your name and email address.
Doug


Hey Doug,
Thanks for replying. Sorry it has taken so long to reply back. Please go ahead and post away. Who knows what response we'll get.
Oh hey by the way. I searched your blog again and found some really cool pics and info about my dad that I haven't seen before. I just wanted to letyou know how thankful I am that you took the time to do that. I'm sure you weren't looking for this kind of response, but it means a lot to my family.
Thanks again,
Casey

KFXM April 11, 1969

All I know is that the #1 song of the week on KFXM was Atlantis-Donovan. The following is what I typed up at the time. Very likely #2 was Hair-Cowsills which was last weeks #1.

I did come up with my own estimated top ten based on last week's survey, and from the positions I got from next week's survey, when I listened to the weekly countdown, but I don't even remember my method to calculate it. So above is the survey with all the facts I had.

KFXM stopped printing the Tiger Mag. Below is the survey that would have been.
One thing I didn't remember is that I must have had a copy of the playlist, because I glued part of it on last week's survey below (the bottom section of The Jones Boys Picks) Why I didn't keep the rest, I don't know. Where I got it, I don't remember. The only place that I would have gone in 1969 that might have had a playlist would have been Lyle's Record City, but I really don't remember.

Hair-Cowsills #1
Highest debut Atlantis-Donovan #12 The flip side of To Susan On The West Coast Waiting finally charting.
