First off, it is NOT midnight cowboy, but the plot is quite close. A cowboy from some cowboy state heads to new york thinking he's going to be the GOAT, but almost immediately gets ripped off and all of his money is gone. He ends up freezing his butt off walking around in his cowboy boots looking to be as miserable as miserable can get.
What eventually happens (my memory is not so good of how they meet up) is that he meets up with some gay dude who turns him out, and then turns him into some very far off-broadway singer. There's a scene I remember where the gay guy is trying to teach him how to speak without a cowboy accent, and he eventually ends up in some gay crowd that is the hit of all the weird off-broadway NYC in-group.
I remember he plays some wind instrument like a saxophone, one scene has him standing on a sidewalk while watching a dog take a dump right next to him, then a cop shows up and tells him to clean it up. He says it wasn't his dog, but the cop isn't having it, so he has to clean it up.
Time frame is maybe early 70s. Wish I could add more, but definitely NOT midnight cowboy.
