101 asked "what's in a name"? Here's Dan Bell...
"I've used different names, but none in Tennessee. Matter of fact, when I started at WIVK I offered to use a different name so I wouldn't be confused with Wayne Bell, the original Eye In The Sky. James Dick, owner of WIVK, says no, he didn't believe in using different names, unless you were more than one person, like Claude Tomlinson, who was also Lester Longmire, and Old Man Shultz. Wish I had a nickel for each time someone asked if I were kin to Wayne. I love to tell the story how Wayne and I were talking at a party, when a pretty young woman asked if I were related to Wayne. I said "Yes, He's my father, right here...." If Wayne had been carrying his gun that night, I think he would have shot me..."
