Can't say as I do. I must admit that before listening to it, I was kind of expecting Greensleeves, or Walk, Don't Run or Green Onions or something like that.

That was a harmonica tune.

If the original question is who remembers this specific instrumental and name of the song? Then no. I have no idea and never heard it before. As far as a possible rendition, then starting at 23-seconds it is the Midnight Cowboy theme. Who was first? Midnight Cowboy = 1969.

That's true, I didn't listen that far.

I thought it might have been Midnight Cowboy, but with help from a friend, then remembered this little tune. We have a controversy viewing...

Yes. This Fleetwood Mac tune appears even closer than Midnight Cowboy. Assuming Fleetwood Mac is the author, then this was released in 1972 though. So is the song snippet posted by 'soens' actually from the '60s?

It's a Danny Kirwin instrumental from the Bare Trees Fleetwood Mac album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dp95cSVff4The particular performance in the OP's link is someone playing a cover performance of the Danny Kirwin song. Interestingly that song used to be the local nightly news end theme at a San Diego TV station for a decade during the 70s.

Wow, you hit it smack on. Never in a million years would I have ever guessed FM as I wasn't familiar with them until Buckingham Nicks joined in 1975. Thanks for remembering and for the link, it sounds exactly as I remember. Loved those guitar instrumentals back then and this one's been swimming around in my head ever since I first heard it. Yeah, I thought it was maybe from the mid/late 60s when so many others were made but early 70s is close, eh?! BTW I do know the Midnight Cowboy theme, another great guitar instrumental, but this aint it.

Hmm... Must not have been Channel 8 (all my parents ever watched) or I would have recognized it!

I should clarify - it was the end theme of the local nightly news. They played it with credits rolling and sunset images.

That's what I took you to mean, but I'm guessing it was the local nightly news on Channel 10 or 39 (which we never saw). I was born and lived in San Diego until my mid-20's.
