I have played all of those, extensively in my youth, however have not found a lot of takers here in Utah.  When I lived in Virginia, we used to play, and when I lived in Minnesota, we used to play a lot of pinochle.  My sister lives just off Arbemarle Sound, but I don't get out there enough to actually join you all.  Love the area.  We drove through one time from Minnesota to the Outer Banks.  I loved the Great Smokies!!  Nice to hear from people in that part of the country (blue or red!!).

Spades is the only one of those games I've ever played (years ago) But I couldn't help noticing the Raleigh, NC area thing in there. Being how I'm born and bred Raleigh, NC and continue to live here today (even though I always bleed Carolina blue, as opposed to State red) I just thought it was so cool to see someone else here in my neck of the woods.
