He's buried in Woodlawn? I didn't know that. I should go see him.

Yeah, in the Bronx. His stone is at the edge of a section, visible from the road.

I paid homage to Gustav Mahler's grave once. In a quiet cemetary in Grinzing, a Vienna suburb. A simple marker, too, unlike his ornate and massive symphonies. And noticably distant from the other big Vienna guys, who are in the Zentralfriedhof (other than Haydn and Brucker, that is--they went for the church thing).

Here's a great website for finding famous folks' graves. It's kind of grim, but I enjoy visiting them.
