How it all started

Photographic recreation of Billy Long during his first years as a talk radio host. This recreation shows Billy at the peak of his cognitive development and clearly demonstrates that even early he had a love for animals.

"Here kitty, kitty."

In those early days Long had no sponsors. He would raid the candy machines at his father's miniature golf course (some say the course was adjacent to the old Shady Inn thus explaining not only Billy's bulk but his affinity for aged meat) and give out nickel snickers bars to listeners who called it. At an early age Billy the value of a well placed bribe.

Not much has changed since then.
