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.
