Great timing, Methuselah. Just yesterday morning, I heard Pat St. John play both "Quarter to Three" and "A Night With Daddy G" back to back on his 50s on 5 show on XM Radio. It was no surprise to hear "Quarter to Three" [[after all that was a number one record and they play it frequently on the 50s channel), but only Pat St. John would dig up "A Night With Daddy G" and play it.

As I understand it, "A Night With Daddy G" became quite popular in Philly, because Hi Lit, a local DJ, used it as his theme song.

NBS - Thanks for mentioning Pat St. John. I'm not familiar with him or his show but I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Methuselah, I was glad to see you bringing attention to "A Night With Daddy G." Gene "Daddy G" Barge moved to Chicago in the mid-sixties to work for Chess Records [[session player, producer, songwriter, A&R man). I lived in Chicago for seven years in the late 70s and early 80s, and I was fortunate to see Daddy G gigging around town several times. He's still active today at the age of 86.

When it comes to Pat St. John, I'm a huge fan because I love music trivia, and he is a master at that. Pat was raised in Detroit, where he started his career as a DJ. He has satellite radio shows both weekday mornings [[except Monday) on the 50s channel [[which actually plays music up through 1963) and weekday evenings on the blues channel. Obviously, because of the hours involved, a lot of his shows must be pre-recorded rather than done live.
