The Dr. Demento Show (live on KMET) - December 24, 1973 (8p-9p)

Special Topic: wish you a very Merry Merry; Frank Zappa as guest DJ
NOTE: This was a special Monday night show for Christmas Eve, with Dr. Demento taking part of Steven Clean's program to play Christmas records from 8p-9p. Then from 9p-11p (originally scheduled for 9p-10p) Frank Zappa took over as guest DJ. Dr. Demento was in the studio with Frank, but strictly speaking the 9p-11p segment may not have really been part of "The Dr. Demento Show".
