STORIES of the day ART WANER Art Waner was destined to be a musician — even though he enrolled at New York University intent on becoming a schoolteacher. Soon, however, he realized that teaching was no easy chore, so he switched to music. Why? "Because I just happened to like it." Many other important things "just happened" to Art. After he had graduated from college, he happened to be walking by the once-popular Leon and Eddy's night club and decided to stop in and see the manager. It just so happened that the club's pianist was sick and, when Art said he was a pianist, the manager hired him for the night. That one night turned into an eightyear stint and the makings of Art's career. Upon leaving Leon and Eddy's, Art formed a larger orchestra than the one he'd had and moved on to the famous Latin Quarter. He's been there ever since, playing music that's "sweet with a beat." ABC listeners have also been enjoying "the piano of Art Waner and his orchestra" each afternoon on Latin. Quarter Matinee. As added spice, Art provides record collectors with some of his own songs on the M-G-M label. All of which makes his life a continuous but happy one of music, music, music.
