Dear Liz -

First, this topic probably shouldn't be listed as "ANSWERED" simply because there are so many folks left out in the cold.

My problem:
I am a musician. As such, I am in multiple bands which I do the "web stuff" for, and thus I have multiple youtube channels and multiple gmail addresses.

I was signed into my oldest gmail account when creating my newest youtube channel. So now, my Comedy band's channel is PERMANENTLY linked to my Heavy Metal band's gmail account. Even though they were not created at the same time.

Meanwhile, my Heavy Metal band's youtube channel will no longer allow me to access it, use it, or upload because it NEEDS to be linked to another Google/Gmail. I'll be a sonofa**** if I'm going to associate it with a different bands gmail.

The plot thickens - we've just put together a video for one of the Heavy Metal band's songs off the upcoming CD. We'd really like to upload it to the appropriate channel but we can't because I'm not even allowed to access it without linking it.

I am open to suggestions there Google/Youtube/Gmail/Liz or whomever.

Please help.
