Fire up your fiddle

EXPECT TO hear some exceptionally .

fine fiddling when the winner of a Fall
Fair musical showdown takes the stage
Saturday afternoon.

Whoever wins the championship title
‘in Friday’s Ol? Tyme Fiddle Contest per-
forms at Saturday’s opening ceremonies,
says contest organizer Erle Crawford, a

‘fiddler who heads up his own band,
Moonshine, and is no stranger to fiddle
-contests himself,

“People have always asked me,
‘What’ s the difference between a fiddle
and a violin?” Crawford says.

A fiddle and a violin are actually the
same instrument. The difference lies in
how they’re played.

“(Canadian fiddle great] Frankie Ro-
gers used to say, ‘The difference is, you
can spill beer on a fiddle,’” Crawford

. . says. “Classical music is played entirely

differently.”

'-"-Qld time fiddle music refers to old
time country, a rawer, more authentic
sound like the kind played by the big
stars of the “50s and 60s,

- “An old time country song has ta have
mothers, boozing, trains and broken
hearts. If it doesn’t have anything like
that init, it’s not old time country.”
“Contestants ‘sign up at the ‘event, so
there’s no way to tell who will enter until

There are four categories: junior (that’s
age 12 and under), intermediate (12 years
and older), seniors (60 plus) and an open
category.

The winners from these four categories
are entered in the championship round.

title and $1,000 in prize money,
