Thanks a million for mentioning "Americana." I probably should have worked in that term and may try to add it.

Americana seems to be mainly a marketing term, and I wasn't sure how widely it was used. It's hard to tell what's "normal" in the rest of the country when you live in Alabama, and I always appreciate a reality check on that one.
