Well, maybe... I'm sitting with a book on my lap, FIFTY SONGS-FIFTY STATES, compiled, arranged and edited by John W. Schaum of Schaum Publications, Milwaukee, 1982. According to the chart on the Contents page, four states have no officially designated song and permission could not be obtained to include the official song of California. I think this effort - a great book - qualifies as one, if not the first, collection, complete as could be, of state songs.
