Steve’s first truly solo broadcast
Aired on June 21, 1992 – the start of my three years of programmes that ran on KPCC-FM Pasadena, CA on Sundays from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. This could never have happened without the encouragement of the show’s originator, Hal Sanguinetti, to whom I owe sincere thanks. Or, put another way, another fine mess he got me into!
Chris Anderson in Champaign, IL, very kindly compiled this playlist of the show.

Wow! Just on a whim, decided to search for Gee Dad it’s a Wurlitzer. Used to listen to this program on Sunday evenings in 1991 – 1992 while living in Monterey Park California. We moved to Hacienda Heights where a signal couldn’t be found. That ended my Sunday evening rendezvous with Wurlitzer music…
Hi Vernon — I do, of course, have many more airchecks of Gee Dad! but made the decision not to post them. I figured that there’s plenty of better shows (as in better production than my early on-air efforts) on Hot Pipes. In any event, I left Los Angeles in 1995, and the programme was canned around 1999 when KPCC went all-news. Larry Mantle, programme director, had wanted to change the station format for years and finally got his wish!
