Show Description for Sunday 11/29/2009 This week on the four o'clock hour my guest will be Hal Niedzviecki, author of The Peep Diaries: How We're Learning to Love Watching Ourselves and Our Neighbors (City Lights, 2009). Also this afternoon, we will be celebrating the work of the composer and pianist Billy Strayhorn, longtime member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra, and one of the most highly original contributors to 20th century music. Strayhorn, composer of such classics as Take the A Train, Lush Life, Passion Flower and Day Dream, was born November 29, 1915. We will listen in on a number of different interpretations of his works, including those by Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald.
