Curly Howard (DJ)
Howard Sisk (c. 1930-October 1, 2001), known on the air as Curly Howard, was a disc jockey on several North Carolina (United States) radio stations.
When Howard joined WKMT in Kings Mountain, North Carolina in 1992, he had spent more than 30 years in radio. 18 of these were at WKBX in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.〔Joe DePriest, "Back on the Air Just Like Family, Curly Howard Is There to Chat Every Morning," ''The Charlotte Observer'', July 15, 1992.〕 He married Jerri September 26, 1966,〔Gerry Hostetler, "Radio Veteran Felt at Home with Audience," ''The Charlotte Observer'', October 10, 2001.〕 and had a son Gregg, who was 21 when Howard joined WKMT.
== Early life ==
Howard grew up in Shelby, North Carolina with Don Gibson, the country music performer best known for ''Oh Lonesome Me'' and the writer of ''I Can't Stop Loving You''. He and Gibson went to country music concerts at the National Guard armory, and when he heard Red Foley sing ''Peace in the Valley'', Howard cried. He dreamed not of becoming a cowboy or a firefighter, but of being able to sing in such a way that he could touch people the way Foley did.
At 15, Howard saw an ad in ''Billboard'' for a guitarist and singer for "a small-time traveling tent show", and he went to Greeneville, Tennessee and asked for the job. He was offered the job because his parents, believing he would get homesick, didn't try to stop him. Howard ended up spending fourteen years on the road. He ended up performing alongside Lash LaRue and Fuzzy St. John and "hayseed comics".
