One of the first urban cowboys, Frank Luther made a career out
of supplying urban listeners with their fix of traditional
country music. A Kansas native, Luther was a professionally
trained pianist who played in several vocal groups in his home
state before moving to New York in 1928 and meeting fellow
Kansas transplant Carson Robinson. The duo wrote and recorded
several songs targeted at urbanites and regularly guested on a
country radio program hosted by Ethel Park Richardson. When
Luther met and married a fiddler who had once played with
Robinson named Zora Lyman, he began to move away from country
music, preferring to write and perform children's music. ~ Steve
