a.k.a. K-BACH is our local institution for the on-air distribution of
classical music. This one is Mr. Toy's third favorite radio station.
- KPIG
- 107oink5
FM
Mr. Toy's favorite station.
The Pig is one
of the highest rated stations in the Monterey Bay area, and rightly so.
Appropriately located in the town of Freedom, KPIG is the perfect
antidote to cookie-cutter corporate pop offerings. The actual DJs who
occupy the sty present cool and unusual mixture of country, folk,
blues, and classic rock, with a little comedy thrown in. They often
play lesser known artists, and throw in a few fake commercials here and
there.
- KIDD -
630 AM
Magic 63. The best pop and easy listening from the 1950s to
the present. Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Petula Clark, and stuff like
that. Mr. Toy sets his alarm clock to this station to wake him on those
mornings when it is necessary to get up before noon.
- KRML
- 1410 AM
Part of the Jazz &
Blues
Company, and the home of Play
Misty For Me.
- Barovelli.com.
is a technical site with all the local radio frequencies for
Monterey
Peninsula police and fire departments, aviation and other things.

Mr. Toy's friends
- If you need a competent
videographer to record your wedding or other special event, run, don't
walk, to Wendy at Reflections Video
- Mr.
Toy has
worked with many DJs over the last dozen
years. Jim & Cecilia at Sight N Sound are
by far the best in this town. They are friendly, the know how to make
your party fun, and most important of all, they are reliable!
- There's
nothing better than a harpist to add
class to your wedding or social event. And there's no classier harpist
than Juli
Alexander.

friend and neighbor
Felix has a BIG site for his public
relations business.
