Burt Farber Returns to Moonlite Gardens for a Three Day Set
Burt Farber, Cincinnati’s favorite pianist, headlines a three day engagement at Moonlite Gardens on Coney Island. Attendees include William Chatfield, Mary Wood, Clyde Trask, Charlton Wallace, and Barney Rapp. Farber, born in Brooklyn, built a long career with WLW and in New York, famed as a top arranger. The revival of his melodic bands drew near 3,000 fans Saturday as he played classics like There Will Never Be Another You and I Can’t Give You Anything But Love. He splits time between Wyoming and New York, with son Cliff Swan, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren residing in Cincinnati. Farber’s arrangements helped artists like Pat Boone and the Clooneys, and he is currently with Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, heard nightly on WCKY at 12:15 a.m.
