'Whittaker' thinks he'll go through the CD donations and catalogue anything American today, in honour of Independence Day.  (It'll be subject-indexed as 'American music'.) 

• Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland: catalogue search - American music
• Same search, but only where specifically subject-indexed as American music.  (See how much more precise the results are?)

Meanwhile, here's a map of America - the Popple Map of 1733, as blogged by the inspired Special Collections people at the University of St Andrews.
