I am fortunate enough to have called him a friend for many years, his "BobbleHead" and many photos of various activities that we participated in together sit on my credenza. In addition to being the greatest "pitchman", he was one of the "real" guys, genuinely friendly and generous. He will be greatly missed.. Those of you with product ideas, there are many conduits for bringing your show to DRTV, it is also an industry filled with sharks..careful. Should you have a product or an idea, Billy's long-time partner is a close friend of mine, whom I can direct you to, as well as offer some advice if needed on DRTV and it's opportunities.

He did scream a lot - but he was the one person who spoke to the hard-of-hearing aging population (ie.my mother). I felt I could look into his eyes on those semi-irritating commercials and tell that he was a good and honest person who truly believed in the product he was pitching. He was a positive influence on hgumanity! We will miss him! God bless his family at this sad time. Theresa Broken-hearted that he died so young!

What a fun reality show to watch. Good to know that Mr. Mays does not shout ALL THE TIME!!!!! They will continue to make a fortune. What a set-up they have built. As a person who worked in TV and video production jobs for years, it has always amazed me that the level of "class and style" of a TV ad is often in INDIRECT proportion to how effective it is. The suckier the better sometimes. Weird, huh? TV....Just absolutely redefines good and bad. Lorraine Grula TV pitchman. What a fun reality show to watch.

This product is environmentally rated, works better any method and should be marketed against liqued firestarter products to keep children and adults from burning themselves. These firestarter sticks are water proof, wind proof, and are so good you can lite them in a windstorm or rainstorm. They were desiged originally for the military because of the lite weight and convenience. I would like to send you more information about this product and tell you that it is a $500,000,000/year market with some competiters( with none as good) and the liquid market. Your expertise would help us get 10% of the market and into major grocery and hardware chains within a few years. I am willing to share with your group a piece of the manufacturing and marketing.
