Lance,
Many, many thanks for the mention of Night Lights on your Bebop Spoken Here blog. Born too late (and too stateside) to have ever heard Conover in his prime, I'm nevertheless a huge fan and devoted a whole Night Lights program to him a couple of years ago; it includes excerpts from some broadcasts, an interview with his biographer, and some music associated with him (thanks to the jazz critic Doug Ramsey, who's been a tireless champion of Willis, I was even able to track down a copy of the 45 that he recorded with guitarist Charlie Byrd!). The program is archived for online listening here:

Much appreciation,
David
