Thread Name: Folklore: Percy Grainger
Subject: RE: Folklore: Percy Grainger
There's a book called "The Mammoth Book of Oddballs and Eccentrics" that says he was into flagellation and referred to his whipping scars as his "blue roses". He also established a Percy Grainger museum in Australia (Sydney, I think), and his last wish was to have his skeleton included in the exhibits. The museum trustees ignored this request.
