Wyoming and Colorado are a different bag - Cowboy tunes - Old Paint etc.   And then there's Texas!

I think we may want to distinguish whether we are talking about traditional music or tunes composed within the last 50 years or so - a lot of regionalization has eroded in recent years so the differences are not so pronounced - I'm not sure that "Gary Indiana", "New York, New York" etc are really representative of regional music
