Quote: "I have to be at work at WHAT TIME!
Toby-O
...is originally from a small town south of New Orleans, Louisiana called Lafitte. There, he worked a number of different
jobs: He worked on a shrimp dock, in a grocery store, in a restaurant, in a pawn shop, at a couple of television stations and
on a couple of films. He graduated from Fisher High School in Lafitte and then NLU/ULM in Monroe. Most recently, after
disappearing for a number of years (he worked at other radio stations), he found himself here at K-104!
Why the hyphen in his name? Toby-O got tired of everyone mispronouncing his last name.
What is his favorite music? Alt-Country (whatever that is).
What was his first concert? Clint Black at the OPRY!
Does he have any favorite addictions? His sweet, beautiful, darling, BAD daughter: Sienna Bela-O... And his lovely
wife: Dana Marie.

On the radio I don't have to think about what I'm going to say. Actually, I'm supposed to think about it...plan it, even...but
that involves what they call "show prep", which is just a fancy word for work, so I don't mess with it. I just push the jolly,
candy-like, red button, and say whatever pops into my head. My inner monologue is a ridiculous thing, so many times my show turns
into a heinous showcase of painfully personal and far too much info. Sure I embarrass myself, but it's easy, and that's worth
feeling like a dork. Now, with a biography, see, the whole dynamic is changed. I have to think about what I'm saying, which is
totally throwing off my chi. One cannnot haphazardly blurt a biography. It's premeditated. That said, here I go.
(THE PRESSURE!)
Okay. Here goes. I love my job and my beloved, extended Radio People family, including the family member with the personality
disorder (Hi, John!). I'm not 30, I have two beautiful kids who seem to love me, I have good hair and a birthmark on my fanny.
It is not a big hairy mole. I don't think this has gone well.
Carl Bamburg
I've lived and traveled all over the US and North American Continent... From the Yucatan of Mexico to the upper reaches of
Sascatchewan in Canada... I grew up in a musical family and have followed that tradition by being involved in bands and recording
music most of my life... I still, to this day, am booked at least three weekends per month in live music situations outside of my
station duties... I've been lucky enough to have shared the stage with some very notable artists over the years... Charlie
Daniels, Travis Tritt... even ol Billy Ray Cyrus back in his "Achy Breaky" days... In additon, I was part of the "Ten Foot Tall
and Bullet-Proof" video by Travis Tritt that ran on CMT for several years.
While living in Nashville in the early 90's, I was a body-double in a Hollywood "B" movie, worked as a singer on the "Cumberland
Queen" riverboat with Opryland Entertainment, recorded several songs with an Independant record label and had a "record Deal" for
a year as an artist.
After coming to North Louisiana, I got involved in radio through some friends who were on the air at K104. 12 years later... here
I am. In that time, I've interviewed and become assoiciated with some of country music's most well-known names... Tim McGraw,
Tracy Lawrence, John Anderson, David Lee Murphy, Neal McCoy, Sammy Kershaw, Faith Hill, Andy Griggs, Mark Chesnutt and others
plus, true icons like George Jones and Merle Haggard have appeared on the "Carl Show".
I spend my personal time mostly playing guitar... in fact, you'd have a hard time prying it out of my hands on most days.. I've
jumped out of airplanes at 10,000 feet, seen the "Nothern Light's" close to the Arctic Circle, explored Mayan ruins near the
Equator and done lots of things in between that I probably couldn't mention here. Just listen to the Carl Show on K104. It'll all
come out eventually...lol
Name: Lee Haynes
Birthdate: 1955
Hometown: Crossett, AR and now resides in West Monroe, LA
Air Shift: Sundays 6-8am
I attend Family Church in West Monroe where I am the instrumental coordinator and also play.
I have my own piano service business, still play a few studio sessions, enjoy my coffee & muffin from Cafe' Expresso with my
friends.
My only hobby that I have time for is deer hunting. I have learned that I can solve the world's problems on a deer stand.
I listen to and enjoy many genres of music, but my favorite is Southern Gospel, yes, "good ol' four part harmony". As I get older,
I am starting to enjoy bluegrass, and that concerns my wife. She is afraid that she will come home and find me playing a banjo in
the back yard.
Remember the old farmer's advice: Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
