Help me Find the music track

I'm tryting to find information on a song that played during Season 1 Episode 8 'The Hobo Code' and it's not listed on this website. The track is playing during the beatnik scene in the middle of the episode in which Don is lying down with Midge and Roy, and Midge asks Don "Do you Like it?" to which he responds with the line about Dorothy and colours. The song is very mellow with what sounds like a Spanish guitar.

The official song listing says it is Miles Davis' Concierto de Aranjuez but that was the song playing immediately previous, and the only other two listed songs are certainly not jazz tracks. I listened through Miles Davis' entire 'Sketches of Spain' album, of which Concierto belongs, and did not hear it.

So does anyone know the name of the track the artist?

Hi musicfan,
I just played "the Hobo" and heard the guitar sound you are talking about and asked my brother who is a musician if he knew the song, but he did not. He says it could be anything, ad-lib.
Since you heard the Miles Davis album and didn't find it there, I feel it could be one of David Carbonara's many music tracks and sounds. I've noticed that on other episodes too. Just sounds from his library of music. Thanks for bringing this up. I love looking into things about the show and feel priviledged that I have my first season discs just bought!
