The Jim Craine Show The Blister Brothers' 1978 Row to Florida and Longport Lifeguard Memories with Danny Steelman Jim Craine phones Danny Steelman, co-author of the real-life 1978 row from Longport to Florida that earned him and lifeguard partner Kelly O'Neill the nickname "the Blister Brothers," for stories behind the new book One Summer Dream: More Than Miles. A Sunny Saturday At Pleasantville Music Shop Jim Craine opens the show live from Pleasantville Music Shop on the Black Horse Pike, apologizing for starting late because he got stuck in traffic picking up lunch. He plays "Beyond the Sea" and welcomes listeners to the Saturday afternoon show on BBS Radio, thanking longtime friend Hal Marzell and cheering for the Dodgers. He notes the shop has been run by his wife's family since 1938, started by her grandfather Gaston, and talks up the store's guitars, pianos, keyboards, lessons, vinyl records, and instrument rental program for area schools. Craine sends prayers to Florida and the East Coast ahead of an approaching hurricane he struggles to pronounce, warning that the weather is about to turn rough locally too. He teases the day's main guests, Danny Steelman and Kelly O'Neill, two former lifeguards who once rowed an old lifeguard boat to Florida, promising a very interesting story once the phone connection comes through. Dr. Boris Delivers The Sponsor Roundup In character as Dr. Boris, the show's official October mascot, Craine runs through the Saturday sponsor list in a spooky voice recorded for BBS Radio's two-to-three Central time slot. He urges listeners to support small businesses starting with Pleasantville Music Shop, calling it the last mom-and-pop music store left on the East Coast. He praises The Maplewood Inns in Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing for their Italian food, thanks the Bobby Matthews family at Copiers Plus for their printing work in South Jersey, and highlights two Absecon-area bed and breakfasts, the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House, which he says has a widow's walk and may be haunted, and The Colonial Inn in Smithville. Dr. Boris jokes that breakfast makes a bed and breakfast better than being just a room number at a hotel, and closes by wishing everyone a beautiful Halloween before handing the show back to Jim Craine, who jokes about how enthusiastically Dr. Boris threw himself into the bit this week. The Godfather Plugs The Maplewood Inns Craine turns the microphone over to another recurring character, the Godfather of Atlantic City, who delivers a gravelly-voiced pitch for The Maplewood Inns' three South Jersey locations. He credits Jimmy Taglia, described as a skilled guitar player, with running the Hammonton restaurant for his father's legacy, and praises the garlic bread, salad, and full Italian spread at all three inns. The Godfather reminds listeners that Christmas and Hanukkah are approaching and mentions gift card deals available through the restaurants' website. He signs off wishing listeners buonasera and buon appetito, teasing the upcoming story of the Blister Brothers, Danny Steelman and Kelly O'Neill, before Craine returns to compliment the bit and admit his guest still has not been connected on the phone. Craine fills the gap with more talk about Pleasantville Music Shop, noting it has operated on the Black Horse Pike since his wife's grandfather Gaston founded it in 1938, and repeats the store's phone number and website for listeners wanting rentals or vinyl. Danny Steelman Recalls A Rainy Night's Idea Danny Steelman finally joins by phone from a Stockton University author event to discuss his book, "One Summer Dream: More Than Miles," about rowing an old lifeguard boat from Longport down the Intracoastal Waterway to Florida in 1978 with his neighbor and fellow lifeguard, Kelly O'Neill. Craine, whom Steelman greets as "Mr. Loud," recalls training with the pair in the same heavy wooden boat and asks what pushed them to attempt the trip. Steelman says the idea began as a joke on a rainy night at the O'Neill house, when Kelly suddenly announced he was doing it and asked who would come along. Steelman's brother Mike briefly agreed but was not truly committed; Steelman, a Longport lifeguard who already spent his days rowing a small boat without an engine, found himself talking himself into it. Once he mentioned it to Kelly a week later, Kelly was instantly "all in," turning one friend's offhand dream into a real plan the two lifeguards would actually carry out together. Bally's Backing And A Storm Offshore Steelman explains that with no money to finance the trip, he called around Atlantic City's three casinos hoping one would sponsor the voyage as a way to promote the city as it emerged from its early gambling-era doldrums. After days of being hung up on, he reached Bally's executive Bill Weinberger's secretary and landed a meeting; Weinberger wrote a check without asking for sponsorship, telling Steelman only to remember who he was and act like a gentleman.
