With the Songs of Texas post below I've now completed the United States of Song series, and what do you know, it's the Fourth of July.
Thanks again to all those who sent in suggestions of songs I'd either overlooked or didn't know. I've been updating the posts as and when I can but that job remains incomplete, and I shall continue with it.
The series is my tribute to the music of America.
Update at 4.45pm: Oh, I meant to include this:
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep deep down in your souls.
