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.

Interestingly that song used to be the local nightly news end theme at a San Diego TV station for a decade during the 70s.

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.
