    The Jim Craine Show A Freezing Forecast, Hurricane Season Oddities, and Bob Uecker Memories with Jim Eberwine Jim Craine broadcasts from Pleasantville Music Shop on a cold, rainy Saturday and phones longtime South Jersey weatherman Jim Eberwine to talk hurricane season, the winter outlook, and a few laughs about ballplayer Bob Uecker. A Chilly Start At Pleasantville Music Jim Craine opens the Saturday broadcast from Pleasantville Music Shop on the Black Horse Pike, apologizing for a late start caused by the cold, rainy weather moving through Atlantic City. He gives a shout-out to a young piano student named Ethan, whose father is tuning in for the first time, and reads out the BBS call-in number for listeners. Craine notes the day has turned chilly after the morning rain, with temperatures expected to drop into the mid-40s overnight. He teases the hour's main guest, longtime South Jersey television weatherman Jim Eberwine, promising he will join the show at the bottom of the hour to talk forecasting and whether snow might be on the way this winter. Craine also previews a segment called Craine's Picks and a batch of new jokes, then hands the show over to his recurring sponsor-reading character, Dr. Boris, whose spooky October voice is about to run through the week's paid supporters. Dr. Boris Reads The Sponsor List Speaking in Dr. Boris's spooky October voice, Craine runs through the show's sponsor list, thanking Pleasantville Music Shop, Copiers Plus and the Bob Matthews family, and the Maplewood Inns in Vineland, Hammonton, and Mays Landing for their food. He also credits the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House in historic Absecon and the Colonial Inn as fine bed-and-breakfast sponsors, joking that staying at a bed and breakfast feels like staying home. Dr. Boris urges listeners to be treaters rather than trick-or-treaters by supporting South Jersey's small businesses, then hands the microphone back to Jim Craine, who admits he enjoys the character but misses doing his old John Wayne bit. Craine sends greetings to friends Les Saltzman in Florida and Hal Marzell, laments having no baseball team left to root for this October, and updates listeners on the clearing, colder weather before promising more jokes, guests, and Craine's Picks still to come in the hour. The Godfather Pitches Maplewood While Waiting On The Guest Craine's recurring Godfather character takes the mic to pitch the Maplewood Inns' three South Jersey locations, praising their catering for weddings and anniversaries and their salad, bread, and classic Italian dishes, then signs off wishing listeners buona sera and bon appétit. Back as himself, Craine tells a string of jokes about alien abduction and swimming with sharks, then gives shout-outs to Copiers Plus in Egg Harbor Township, the Black Cat restaurant run by the Fallavollita family in Absecon, and his friend Mike Alton down in Florida. Still waiting for Jim Eberwine to call in, Craine fills time describing Pleasantville Music Shop itself, explaining that his father-in-law, Gaston Ragno, opened it in 1938 and that it remains the last mom-and-pop music shop on the East Coast, selling pianos, instruments, sheet music, and vinyl. He plugs his own recordings, including a new album, and plays "The Lady Is a Tramp" with the Steel Pier Remembered Big Band to keep listeners entertained while the phone connection comes through. Jim Eberwine Joins For Cold Fronts And Hurricanes Jim Eberwine, the longtime South Jersey television weatherman Craine calls his resident forecaster, finally reaches the show by phone, joking that he is freezing after the cold front behind the week's rain. The two discuss freeze warnings spreading from the north and an unusually busy hurricane season out near Guam, with Eberwine ticking off a procession of storms named Rachel, Simon, and Trudy, plus Hurricane Isaias, which he says caused the previous Sunday's heavy rain and the area's earlier derecho. Craine asks whether the early cold snap hints at a rough winter, and Eberwine explains that an extremely cold forecast usually brings little snow because the air arrives too dry, while a winter that sits on the fence between cold and mild is more likely to deliver a real snowstorm when the temperature contrasts line up. He recalls Craine's past snowstorms, including one that let him run ice capades in his own driveway, and notes he has consulted the Farmers' Almanac for clues about the season ahead. Tidal Flooding, Baseball, And A Uecker Story Eberwine forecasts a minimal tidal flooding event for Monday and Tuesday from a low-grade nor'easter forming off Cape Hatteras, much weaker than the flooding that blew sewer covers off Fire Road a week and a half earlier. Craine gripes about a local road-raising project near Station Avenue and jokes that the ocean always wins in the end. The two commiserate over a baseball season with the Dodgers and Phillies both eliminated, agreeing to root for the Brewers in honor of broadcaster Bob ...

    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.

    The Jim Craine Show, October 3, 2026
    2026/10/04
    The Jim Craine Show Merrill Kelem, a retired officer with the Atlantic City Police Department has lived an interesting life. In addition to his career in law enforcement he found himself as a part of Frank Sinatra's inner circle. He also worked as a part of Frank Sinatra, Jr.'s organization until Sinatra, Jr.'s passing. Sinatra Bodyguard Stories and Atlantic City Memories with Merrill Kelem Jim Craine broadcasts from the Pleasantville Music Shop on a rainy Saturday and phones his longtime friend Merrill Kelem, a former Atlantic City police officer who worked as one of Frank Sinatra's bodyguards. The two trade stories about the Rat Pack, Caesars and Resorts, a benefit softball game, and the Atlantic City lifeguards and police they knew. Rainy Saturday Opening and Dr. Boris Sponsors Jim Craine opens the afternoon from the Pleasantville Music Shop on a rainy Saturday in southern New Jersey, greeting listeners and noting that the Halloween season is in full swing. He calls up his character Dr. Boris to read the sponsor list in a spooky voice, thanking Pleasantville Music Shop, The Maplewood Inns, Copiers Plus, and the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House and The Colonial Inn bed and breakfasts. Craine then turns to small business, urging listeners to support the local companies that sponsor the show. He mentions the shop's back-to-school instrument rentals for area schools, its vinyl records that can be played in the store, and a planned Toys for Tots show at ACIT in Mays Landing on December 5th, where people bring a toy to attend. He also points to the Birdcage restaurant in Atlantic City and a website, pleasantvillemusic.com, for more information. The rain and flooding from the previous week are on his mind as he teases the main guest coming up later in the hour. The Godfather Pitches Maplewood Inns The Godfather, another of Craine's recurring characters, takes the microphone next for a comic pitch for The Maplewood Inns in Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing. In a gravelly voice, he praises the veal parmesan, chicken parmesan, ravioli, and spaghetti, and says the restaurants can cater a prom or host a wedding. He jokes that listeners can take a wife for an anniversary or a girlfriend to dinner, but never on the same night. He gives the inns three thumbs up and closes with a sign-off wishing listeners a good time and bon appétit. Craine returns to note that the show airs Saturdays from two to three Central time on the network, then introduces the guest, Merrill Kelem. He describes Kelem as a former Atlantic City police officer who was one of Frank Sinatra's bodyguards alongside his partner, Bobby, and calls him an old friend and one of his best pallies. Kelem is reached by phone from Ventnor, where he is looking out over the boardwalk on a dull, dingy day. Kelem Recalls Joining Sinatra's Circle Kelem, a Philly boy with family property near the Inlet, recalls thirty-one and a half years as an Atlantic City police officer. He says he got into Sinatra's circle through a buddy, Larry, who was a valet at the time, and that Skinny coached him on how to act around the boss: let him get comfortable around you, but never get comfortable around him. Kelem first met Sinatra at Caesars that same year, a month after gambling passed in Atlantic City. He says his work began in March 1977 at the Valley Forge Music Fair, where he ran the warehouse for the souvenir business, shipping and ordering merchandise, and that this earned their trust. He says Resorts opened the first week of April, over Easter weekend in 1978, and the hospital gala at Convention Hall that weekend was a highlight. Craine recalls ushering at Convention Hall and seeing Sinatra's steel-blue eyes, while Kelem notes he and Bobby may be the only ones alive in that photo. Pie Fights and the Red Eyes, Blue Eyes Game Craine asks Kelem to set the record straight about Pete Maggio, whom Craine remembers as Sinatra's driver. Kelem insists Maggio met the singer but never drove him, saying the only men who drove Sinatra were Kelem, Bobby, and Ritchie Ayub. The talk drifts to pie fights, and Kelem jokes that Sinatra loved banana cream pie, which the crew once used to hit Morty Storm square in the face. Craine remembers going backstage at The Sands, where Jilly stopped him at the door until Craine said he was there with Merrill. The centerpiece is a benefit softball game called Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, which Kelem dates to 1980 and says was for Wills Eye Hospital. Tommy Lasorda, coming down from a Dodgers game in Philadelphia, asked umpire Joe West to throw him out so he could reach Atlantic City by 11:30, and West staged it as an argument. Kelem says the game ended in an 18-18 tie when it was called, and he still keeps the Galliano bottle from that day. Frank Jr., Nancy, and Atlantic City Lifeguards Kelem calls Frank Sinatra Jr. his brother from another mother, and says a book about him is 99 percent nonsense, so listeners should not waste their money. Craine, who says ...
