Cedar Rapids Iowa Frank Buhr Midwest Ramblers KCRG Tour 1956 Postcard

This postcard dates to 1956 and features the Frank Buhr Midwest Ramblers of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, during a KCRG promotional tour appearance.

Regional radio and television stations in the 1950s played a central role in promoting live country and western bands, often sponsoring tours and local performances. Groups such as the Midwest Ramblers combined string band instrumentation with stage presentation tailored for broadcast audiences. The format reflects mid-century promotional photography, with members identified by first name above their positions on stage.

The image shows six musicians arranged across a small stage with instruments including guitar, clarinet or saxophone, accordion, banjo, and upright bass, while a drum head behind them reads Frank Buhr Midwest Ramblers. Names Larry, Stan, Duane, Frank, Orlie, and Ed appear above the performers, reinforcing the ensemble identity. The reverse contains tour information and scheduling details consistent with 1956 promotional distribution.
