Wow. District 6 of the Old Time Fiddler's Association was a pretty hot place for fiddlers in the early 80's. Lots of California and National champs and close finishers came out of Northern California at that time, which was when I lived there. Evelyn Horner is in Mt. Shasta City and teaches fiddle. It has been a very long time since I saw her though, so I have no contact information for her.

Adrien Jacoby is a music teacher at Parsons Jr. High in Redding. Her daughter is J'anna Jacoby who was a California State Fiddle Champ at some point in the 80's.

Both Evelyn and Adrien were active in the OTFA, and I believe Evelyn still is. I know her daughter, Shelly, teaches fiddle.

I would suggest getting in touch with Bernie at Bernie's Guitar. They can steer you toward Dist. 6 and some fiddle teachers. I remember that area of California overun with fiddlers!
