JIM ERLANDSON, Snake Oil's newest member, sings and plays mandolin, banjo, guitar, harmonica, jews harp and anything he can lay hands on. He was born in 1948 to a musical family - his father, uncle and grandmother had a song and dance act in vaudeville. Jim played accordion from age 5, the trumpet in high school and then added a variety of instruments playing Dixieland Jazz, Scandinavian and American folk music. Jim and his wife Kathy helped found the Spokane Folklore Society and the Spokane Street Fair in the 70's, then moved to Olympia to work as a social program manager for the state. His hobbies include fishing, home brewing, and collecting musical instruments and old `78 records.
