[78-L] Frank Luther items on my want-list for decades

[Bud Black]

I was always impressed with Frank Luther's recording of "You're As Pretty As
A Picture," that he did with Carson Robison.  His deliberate Jimmy Rogers
imitation on this was the best I've heard.

Frank Luther was an extremely talented, prolific artist; unfairly maligned
by record collectors, which enabled me to accumulate a good collection of
his 78s for very little money. I think I probably have around 50 Luther 78s
-a drop in the bucket considering his output, but quite representative of
his career.

Back in  the '40s, my hometown held a Red Feather Campaign (later Community
Chest, later United Way).  I was just a kid, but I went to see  the
entertainment at the community center.  It was Frank Luther  who played the
piano and
sang appropriate songs.  I was not  bold enough to meet him or talk  with
him
about
his career.  8>(

Don, that's a wonderful anecdote. I remember the Red Feather  campaign, and
I
think youngsters who donated actually received a small red  feather. How
wonderful that you had an opportunity to see Frank play and sing!
 
When he wrote his musical, "Tom Sawyer," he first tried it out  on audiences
via a one-man show, singing all the songs (accompanying himself on  piano)
and
playing all the parts. That would take a lot of energy. I  suspect that few
people today are willing or able to perform solo for any long  of time.
 
Best,
