The gregbellblog site will remain up for now, but will be going away so you need to start visiting me at the new location 

You will need to send your emails from the new site as well or directly at greg@gregbellmedia.com 

 The old email address will work for awhile, but eventually will be discontinued. 

Bear in mind the new site is...um...NEW so there will be tweaks and fixes to come. Suggestions are always welcome. Again email me at the new address greg@gregbellmedia.com 

As my friend and avid Radio Classics fan John Schneider likes to say;
