Oswego, NY – Since its inception in 18th century England, hand bell choirs have become increasingly popular in the United States, especially during the holidays. For several years, a church group in Oswego has captured and presented the magic and camaraderie of bell ringing. WRVO's Mark Lavonier recently caught
up with the West Baptist Church Bell Choir, and delivers this audio postcard.
