In this episode I take a brief look at Twelfth Night (the Christmas custom, not the play), with an assist from Marshal Matt Dillon. You'll also hear music from Jahzzar as well as a bit of The Nutcracker Suite. Check back soon for A Volume Down Christmas 2004, Part 3.

Happy Holidays! For Christmas this year I'll be posting several short episodes discussing a variety of slightly off-beat seasonal topics - all with Christmas music that you haven't heard until you could scream. These episodes will be quick and easy listens that may tell you something you didn't know. We'll start off light then get a bit more serious as the episodes progress. In this episode you'll hear a little bit about the old Pepper Custom Recording Company and what it has to do with Christmas. If you like it let me know - there's more where this one came from. Thanks for listening.
