Memorial for Ludiker: Fiddling siblings Kimber Ludiker, second from left, and Dennis Ludiker, harmonize on a waltz they learned from their father, well-known champion fiddler Tony Ludiker, at a memorial event Saturday at the Spokane Valley Eagles Club. Backing them up on guitars are Darin Meeks, left, and Terry Ludiker, Tony’s brother. A packed house was on hand to remember Tony, who passed away from cancer Dec. 2, and hear from family and fellow musicians, including the two younger siblings, who both play professionally in their own bands. Kimber is wearing her father’s National Oldtime Fiddlers vest. (Jesse Tinsley)
