Personally I feel that Luther and Robison were both  overlooked. 
Perhaps both of them were too versatile.  They both  played and sang many 
different styles of music.     Jack



Jack, you deserve so much credit for the superb job  you have done in 
documenting the extremely important career of Vernon Dalhart.  How fortunate is the 
artist who has a researcher/biographer of your caliber in  his corner!
 
I think you are absolutely right about Frank and  Robby. They were 
musicians...and they sincerely enjoyed doing a wide variety of  music. Through his 
compositions, and the fact that he adhered to the country  tradition for the last 
25 years of his career, Robison has gained acceptance,  but Frank - who did 
very little country music after achieving such fabulous  success with the 
children's records for Decca - is still very seldom  acknowledged. This fact, coupled 
with all the pseudonyms which made the song  better known than the singer, 
results in an unsatisfactory acknowledgement of  Frank's achievements as a 
recording artist.
