… Ladies and Gentlemen, you’re listening to the Top Dog …
GARY ALLYN – KONO SAN ANTONIO”The World’s Tallest Midget” & “Wine-Colored Velvet-Covered Couch” (World’s Smallest Fan Club Card – actual size was one-and-one-half inches by three-quarters of an inch!)
Gary Allyn is featured here on “The G. A. Matinee” from KONO, San Antonio Texas, in 1968.
This recording of the “Gary-Go-Round” is our first aircheck of KONO. It was introduced on the first week of the Repository’s fifth year.
We are very grateful to Gary for this contribution.
In the 1960’s, KONO was certainly a major TOP 40 performer in the historical city of San Antonio, Tejas. (Remember the Alamo!)
KONO had “Boss Fever” in 1968 (like so many Top 40’s across the nation)
and this aircheck features some “boss” acapellas from a well-known Texas
jingle company.
Also, the Top 10 countdown prior to the #1 song of the week (Dr. Jon by Jon & Robin, peaked at #87 on Billboard)
is not to be missed, it’s classic topical Top 40 production!
