Stage and Television Appearances
Steve made many television appearances in his lifetime - most of which were during his days as an Oak Ridge Boy. I have listed below the ones I am aware of. This list is being compiled in stages, and has required me to catalog hundreds of hours of videotapes, so please bear with me....
Please E-mail me if you can:
- fill in missing dates or other information
- contribute information about appearances not listed
- help me get copies of shows I don't have
