Van Howard
Van Howard (born Clifton Howard Vandevender;〔 March 1, 1929 - October 2, 2012) was an American Country music singer, songwriter and guitarist. Van Howard is best known as the front man for Ray Price from 1954 through 1958 with Price's band, the Cherokee Cowboys. ==Personal life== Van was born into a musical family on a crisp, windy morning in Grady, New Mexico (36 miles north of Clovis, New Mexico), Van grew up on a 'dry land' farm during The Great Depression with his older brother & sister, learning responsibility at a young age. Van's family life was centered around school, basketball & the country church where he sang and often played. Van's Mom taught him a few chords on the guitar when he was about 8 years old and that planted the seed for a whole new world for him. Van's family listened to the Grand Ole Opry every Saturday night via a battery powered radio where he learned all of the country 'hits' & dreamed of being a performer. At the age of 13, Van's uncle sponsored a weekly radio program for him every Saturday on station KICA in Clovis, NM. Van had his own radio show. He played his guitar and sang from his planned program and took requests by mail & worked them into the mix. Van began singing more and more for special events, as well as school and church. Van played basketball all through school & was selected to All County, All District & the North/South All Star teams for New Mexico in high school. Eastern New Mexico University recruited Van to play for them when he graduated from high school. Van made the team, but during the first game tripped and broke his ankle. Even though he couldn't play basketball, the University asked him to join a choral group that they used to promote the college. At the end of the year, Van returned to Clovis and began working in a local bank. He was still able to sing on weekends and evenings.
