It states that Ron Garner is number one in the morning, here in May 1962. How long before
"Huckleberry" Chuck Clemans on K/MEN takes over that position?

how long until the Beach Boys appear with Surfin Safari?
I see hints of the Summer of 62
hits sprouting. It was a great
Summer. KMEN will establish itself
as a major competitor to the Mighty
590.
It might be next week
"Surfin Safari" hits the K/men list May 26.
It didn't chart in L.A till mid July and
didn't chart on Billboard until
August 11
Three more weeks before Surfin' Safari hits "Wax To Watch", but the real surprise is that it disappears for a week then hits the top 40 the following week, listed with the flip 409.
thanks...didn't mean to spoil the surprise (or maybe I did), but couldn't wait...everything's different from that date...summer of '62...welcome to the rock era.
Where were you in '62???
Where was I? I was in Grade 6 at St. Phillip's School in Pasadena....just blocks away from the KRLA studios. We all had 6-transistor radios in our lunchpails.
Cool, Brother Earl, simply cool, man. Those compact little transistor radios were our life-line to what was happening in the world and the best connection to fun-fun-fun!
Some of us didn't have any stinkin' lunch pails...
