The first International Body Music Festival opens today in San Francisco. We hear from several musicians who use their chests, feet, voices and more to create percussive music including beat boxing and traditional Balinese chants. Then in the second half hour, we examine how San Francisco's dramatic art deco legacy owes much to the architect Timothy Pflueger. For examples, look to the Castro Theater, Oakland's Paramount Theater and the San Francisco Stock Exchange. We talk with journalist Therese Poletti about her recent book on Pflueger's Bay Area architecture.
