OK - if we must - I should refer you to Usenet rec.music.classical where
this comes up from time to time.  Percy Grainger, born in Australia,
became a U.S. citizen, many of his compositions include English folk
material; so they debate whether he was an "American composer" or
Australian or English.  Anyway, there something about a museum, perhaps
it's at his birthplace in Australia, and the collection includes
Grainger's testes, preserved in a jar.
