In Bergen, Norway, I was impressed how a smallish city of 290,000+ sports
two museums devoted to composers, the Grieg home "Troldhaugen" and the
Harald Saeverud residence "Sijustol."

What can our country of 290 million offer?  For serious classical
composers, I know only of the Charles Ives home.  Are there others?

If there is not already, there should be museums in the homes/apartments
of Gershwin, Copland, Barber, Bernstein, Cage, Rozsa, ...

Who knows of such?  What other composers should be enshrined here?
Probably only foreigners would visit, but what the hell, we might make
some money off 'em!
