Her grandfather, Joseph Han- son of Bremerton, and Wayne Crabtree, who organizes the Fid- dle Fest program, go back "years and years" with the Washington Old Time Fiddlers Association, Fleishmann says. She credits her grandfather with "starting it all" for her musi- cal family: her mother played, as did her two sisters, her uncle and her brother. Fleischmann started playing the fiddle at age 6, in- fluenced by her grandfather, who builds instruments as well as plays. "He would have a jam ses- sion every Saturday night," she recalled in a conversation with Sue Sheldon, executive director of Save Our County's Kids (SOCK), sponsor of next weekend's Fiddle Fest. "MY MOM PLAYED the gui- tar and she would take all of us to the weekly jam sessions," she told Sheldon. "Everyone could come. It was a very fun-loving, musical at- mosphere. Mom took us to music festivals all over the Pacific Northwest." Now 29 and a Port Orchard resident, Fleishmann plays fiddle and guitar and sings. "I should She died when Fleischmann was 11. But Fleishmann picked up the fiddle again when she was a soph- omore "and then I couldn't put it down. I used to get up at 5:30 or 6 and practice before school," she said, adding that she was "late for school a lot." She studied classical violin for three years, she said. "I love swing, classical, old-time fiddle and bluegrass," she added, calling old-time music her passion. She started with fiddle compe- titions at 17, taking her four minutes onstage with mandolins and fiddles. She took second place in the young adult division this spring in the Tri-Cities at the Washington State Fiddle Fest, but she calls herself "still a begin- ner. I have so much to learn," she added. Some day, she says, she'd love to teach young people fiddle or guitar to help them develop the same love she has for music. "It is very healing," she mused. "Very spiritual, really." PRODUCED BY the Wash- ington Old Time Fiddlers Associa- tion, the festival is presented as a benefit for SOCK. It will include three shows in the Shelton High School Auditorium: 7 p.m. Friday from harmonicas to Cajun accor- dion to autoharp to piano. Some of Fiddle Fest fans' favorites will return, including vocalist and yo- deler Tillie Gerber, the Cascade Mountaineers string band, bent- note pianist Andy Anderson, the Blue Hill bluegrass band and the Harmonicans. On the program for all three shows is Katie Keller, a 16-year- old from Winlock who brought down the house in her first Fiddle Fest appearance last year. She won a championship in her divi- sion the first time she ever com- peted in the state contest, just a month after last year's Fiddle Fest. Another incredible young fe- male fiddler playing all three shows is Nita Saddler. Both of the young women can go 90 miles an hour on the fiddle and make it seem like they're out for a Sunday drive. Crabtree, founder of the festi- val and the emcee who has told the audience all - or almost all - his cornball jokes over the 13 years of the event, will perform as a vocalist on Saturday night. Tickets for the festival cost $6.50 for adults before the show or $7.50 at the door. Tickets for those under 12 and over 55 cost a dollar less. There are special Radio Shack, Wal-Mart and Ol- sen Furniture in Shelton, the Al- lyn Inn, the Belfair Cafe and Theler Center in Belfair, the Hoodsport Winery and Videoland Productions and Yenney Music Company in Olympia. A parallel fund-raiser will take place on the afternoon of Satur- day, April 3, when the Parents of the SHS Class of 2000 will serve a spaghetti dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. in the SHS Student Union Building between shows.
