The guest list included famed pianist Van Cliburn, who once won a piano competition in Moscow and lives in Fort Worth. Golfer Ben Crenshaw was also attending. The Ranch Hands Band, a Texas swing band, would also provide some of the entertainment. Crawford, a tiny town outside Waco in central Texas, rolled out a homey welcome for the two leaders on Wednesday, with signs made by local school children decorating fence lines along the road into town. ``Texas says 'howdy' Russian Pres. Putin,'' said one banner.
