Isaac Stern was buried at the Morningside Cemetery in Gaylordsville, Connecticut. Instead of "violinist" on the marker, a "fiddler"... he recorded the theme of Fiddler On the Roof. Also worth noting: among several violins Stern played was the "Kruse-Vormbaum" Stradivarius, dating from 1728 (to refer to post 603 in this thread). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Stern

Across the street ( Gallatin Road ), is a National Cemetery. Back in the neighborhood are the homes of Kitty Wells, and Hank Snow.
