Yes, It was Pete's theme from his Mixed Bag show. He closed out each show with this song. First on WNEW-FM, and then after WNEW ceased to be, he moved to WFUV and continued to do the show there until his passing in 2012. The show was taken over by his assistant and cohort Don McGee, and continues to this day.
I think of Pete every time I hear the song.
Brings back memories of the the late great Pete Fornatale ... was the theme song for Mixed Bag or one of his shows on WFUV or WNEW or something, thinking I heard it first on a late Sunday night in the 80s...

This tune was composed by the GREAT Ralph Towner. It is one of his best ones. He was a member of the PWC at that time. Later, he recorded this song several times as a solo artist or with the group Oregon. You probably have heard one of these recordings.
Personally, I prefer the version on his solo album "Diary".

Nature prog on NPR perhaps?
There's a melody in here that's going to bug me for a while until I hear where it was that I heard it before. Considering the date on this one, there's a chance that the melody I've already heard elsewhere was nicked from this...
I hear Dolphins playing
The beginning of real New Age music....cool!

Audiophile Quality track - Good instrument separation
Well...it's a bout time you played something from this group.
Let me be the first to comment. I bought this album on cassette many years ago. Its was that trippy, jazz stuff that the Windham Hill record label specialized in.
Listen to this album and you can hear genesis for Go Go Penguin, Pat Metheny, Shadowfax and others. Even Jean Luc Ponty.
