DESCRIPTION:
Henry Sagedahl's Schottische (played in a polka tempo) played by Pamela Longtine (center), Lynn Dixon (right) and Bob Dixon
(left) in Minneapolis, MN.

This is one of the heirloom fiddle tunes from West Central Minnesota, collected by Elmo Wick, that were played by the region's best fiddlers in the early 1900's. This project is headed by Mary Pat Kleven and sponsored by the Minnesota State Fiddlers Association. For more information on the Elmo Wick Project and the Elmo Wick Tune Book go to http://www.fiddlemn.com. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and culture heritage fund.

Henry Sagedahl was one of the Five Fiddlin Sagedahl Brothers who played at a number of barn dances in the 1920's and 1930's in the Sunburg area. Henry moved to Brooten and worked for the school district as a mechanic and bus driver.
