Cliburn

Cliburn had none of that state backing, of course, just talent, perseverance, and commitment.

The death of Van Cliburn this week marks the passing of a wonderful musician and a very special man.

Cliburn would most certainly blush, maybe even bristle, at this description of his role in history.

The old church at Cliburn, on the banks of the Leath, was also probably placed there with some regard to defence.

My heart was in my mouth, still I went and opened it: a man named Cliburn was there.
