A proposito di questo titolo
 The Jim Craine Show Master Sand Sculptor John Gowdy, Atlantic City Lifeguard Tales, and Elke Sommer Memories with John Gowdy Jim Craine broadcasts from Pleasantville Music, reminiscing about lifeguard summers at The Claridge and late actress Elke Sommer before welcoming former firefighter and champion sand sculptor John Gowdy to discuss his documentary Sandman. Banjo Bob and Local South Jersey Sponsors Jim Craine welcomes listeners to a Saturday broadcast live from Pleasantville Music in Pleasantville, New Jersey. He sends birthday wishes to centenarian Rose Bacella, greets first-time listener Mike Reynolds, and pays tribute to his late friend, actress Elke Sommer. Welcoming November, Craine turns the microphone over to his autumnal alter ego, Banjo Bob. Accompanied by upbeat banjo strumming, Banjo Bob promises listeners that none of the show's South Jersey sponsors will ever deliver a turkey of a deal. He highlights Pleasantville Music on the Black Horse Pike for instruments and vinyl records before praising Joe Italiano's Maplewood Inns in Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing for delicious Italian fare like chicken parmesan and veal scallopini. Banjo Bob plugs Copiers Plus in Egg Harbor Township for printing and vehicle wraps, as well as the historic Dr. Jonathan Pitney House in Absecon and The Colonial Inn in historic Smithville, before wishing a heavenly birthday to western singing star Roy Rogers. Craine's Picks, Comedy Shows, and Toys for Tots Plans Returning to the broadcast as himself, Craine jokes about the fickle autumn weather and recalls a humorous broadcast maxim from his early radio mentor, Bob Weems. He shares regional happenings during Craine's Picks, recommending Italian comedian Tammy Pescatelli's upcoming stand-up show at the Eagle Theatre in Hammonton alongside local magician Joe Holiday. Craine also plugs a designer bag bingo afternoon supporting Our Lady Star of the Sea School in Atlantic City. Looking ahead to the holiday season, he announces that the annual Toys for Tots benefit concert will broadcast live from Pleasantville Music on December 5th. He notes that store CD sales help generate charitable donations for the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. Atlantic City's raspy Godfather character then arrives over his signature film theme to promote catering from Joe Italiano's Maplewood Inns, urging listeners to patronize local brick-and-mortar storefronts rather than corporate big-box retailers during the upcoming holiday shopping rush. Claridge Casino Lifeguard Memories and Jack Benny Back live in the studio, Craine reminisces about his eleven years working as an Atlantic City lifeguard at Indiana Avenue right in front of The Claridge. He remembers interviewing Elke Sommer for Philadelphia's Channel 6 while she starred in Woman of the Year at the hotel's showroom. Craine recalls other notable entertainers gracing the local casino stage during that vibrant era, including Georgia Engel, Tim Conway, and Joe Namath. Reflecting on Sommer's comedic charm, he shares an amusing television anecdote where legendary comedian Jack Benny introduced her to the public. When Sommer modestly suggested that speaking five languages was far more significant than physical glamour, Benny famously deadpanned that Georgie Jessel spoke eight languages without anyone whistling at him. Craine also reflects on his father's role as a local department store Santa Claus, whose dazzling neighborhood holiday light displays famously blew out an electrical transformer during freezing rain. Hal Marzell Calls and Sand Sculptor John Gowdy Joins Craine opens the phone lines and receives a call from his longtime Inlet childhood friend, Hal Marzell, checking in from California. The two classmates joke about vintage Atlantic City memories, their shared passion for the Beatles, and baseball loyalties between the Phillies and Dodgers before Craine previews an upcoming international sand sculpting competition planned near Boardwalk Hall. Craine then transitions to welcome master sand sculptor and former Atlantic City firefighter John Gowdy. Gowdy notes he began crafting elaborate beach creations forty years ago while digging casual sandcastles with his children during family outings. Craine celebrates the deep local roots of the Gowdy family, recalling John's father Hank and his brothers working as local civil servants and lifeguards. Gowdy discusses his international career and his hopes to bring the World Cup of Sand Sculpting back to Atlantic City under protective pavilion spaces facing Pinky's Stage on the boardwalk. Whale Tributes, Competition Travels, and the Papal Castle The discussion turns to Gowdy's celebrated forty-foot whale sand sculpture in Ventnor, which he constructed with municipal assistance to raise awareness after ocean testing disrupted coastal marine mammals. Gowdy describes the demanding nature of professional master sculpting competitions, noting he is packing his gear for upcoming championship events...
