Elmo Wick. Brooten, MN

Elmo Wick was the founder of the Minnesota State Fiddle Association.  He was born Aug. 27, 1924, in Sunburg, MN to Andrew and Esther (Erickson) Wick. He grew up in Sunburg where he attended school.  He carefully recorded and transcribed many of the tunes he learned over the years.  I know the MSFA is sitting on more than 600 of his transcriptions of tunes.  They are in the process of figuring out what to do with them.
