Happy the man,and happy he alone, He,who can call today his own; He who,secure within,can say, Tomorrow do thy worst,for I have lived today.

You and I belong to a very select group of people that heard Conover and has access to the Internet. There was no article on Willis Conover in Wikipedia until I wrote one. People have edited and augmented it somewhat, but a lot remains to be desired.
I have built a huge archive of jazz albums but I feel terrible that I can't share it with Dad. He was a great jazz enthusiast and introduced me to it. Jazz is one of my strongest connections with him.
Maybe we can meet when I am in India.
Its sad about your father and I can empathize with you on that.
Great to hear about your jazz collection.Recently a friend gave me a lot of Miles Davis almost the entire discography.Unfortunately not flac but then I guess one shouldn't be too greedy!
I would really like to meet you if you come to Bangalore.
I wish you could try Pandora in India. Their customized radio stations are tuned to your exact taste. Last.fm is also similar. Unfortunately, access to it is rather limited in India.
I would suggest you try www.grooveshark.com's radio station. Their archive is the biggest.
Do you have Ella Fitzgerald's Complete Great American Songbook? It's a masterpiece.
I listen to Jazzradio.com and Pure Jazz and a few others.
I don't have Ella Fitzgerald's Complete Great America Songbook.Thanks for the tip. I'll try and get it.
Willis Conover had once sent Dad a vinyl record from the VOA archives.
