A fresh yet familiar carol III

In honor of Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen's birthday today, I recommend his instrumental, "Downhill Sleigh Ride," not to be confused with "Sleigh Ride."  The guitar arrangement and sleigh bells make me envision someone trying to catch up to a sleigh in which the horses have gotten a head start.  Its melody brought Mason Proffit's "It's All Right" to my mind, which intrigued me right away.
