Of course we're talking about Mr. Bill Monroe. Which brings the question to the Father who is the mother of bluegrass. We know Charlie Monroe must be the uncle of bluegrass at any rate we're going on either maybe I'll. Go back you're going to be there. Make up a coffee do you have a knife or we came out here. John's for the coffee generation folks if you're Mel is an outlaw let lift him up. He's totally mellow now.

His voice will sort of nice and he's been jamming with Bruno you know.

That John was talking earlier about our Grammy nomination we want to play that tune for you if you haven't heard this one. By the way if you if you've heard the revival before and wondering why John didn't sing the solo tonight he's very courageous to be battling. The flu possibly. He told us it was the flu you would not also Sam I think we might mention you talking about a man of courage. On a noble quest. We just want to tell the audience tonight that John has.

Come out in public in a series of articles about his joining of M.A. which is of course most anonymous. It's a 12 step program you just can't knock it off. Although once told. He's down to just the top of his head now and. We're hoping by summer to get that thing way down way down. But John hang in there because I know that higher power. Thank. You. Week we got a few new grass records a new song out in the lobby bailing out some solo albums. As does John. We have pads tribute to Helen Reddy the fly only did the songs on this album the Chico wrote without the asking I think it's a good concert. And one Phyllis George to thank you. But the two were talking about were proud of his tune and your biggest thrill being nominated for a Grammy especially in the country instrumental category. Like we're saying we we don't know what country it's from.

But this young man wrote it if that tells anything Bailey awake over there but hey he sang good. If you come in second this thing to get like a half a Grammy. Would be. Just for you inside people you know. I love dancing they have a go. Live long bailiff like with seven by seven. That.

Cause. Thorney Whew. We've been listening to some great players here on our front porch today. The New Grass Revival featuring bailiff Lakhan banjo Sam Bush on federal and mandolin John Cowan bass and Pat Flynn was featured on guitar. I'd also like to thank an unseen member of their troupe their road manager Richard the Togliatti. If you're familiar with the New Grass Revival you've probably noticed that they sounded just a little bit different today. It seems that their lead singer John Cowan came down with us earlier this week so they had to structure their show just a little bit different. But that also gave us a chance to hear a different side to the New Grass Revival. I'm John shuffler. I'd like to thank you for joining us here today on our front porch. I hope you enjoyed

yourself. And if you did come back and join us again real soon. Take care. Today.

That story tonight at ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. Also these stories a tough report expected from the Tower Commission investigating the president's National Security Council and its role in the Iran arms deal. In Moscow demonstrators beaten by police. A new study rebuts administration assertions of arms control violations by the Soviets of a Defense Department are just an all out effort to save the domestic computer chip industry. And for Valentine's Day a menu for

seductive dinner at a more coming up now we have this hour's news. I'm Frank stay show a demonstration in downtown Moscow was broken up again today by plainclothes police. The demonstrators beaten and Western reporters covering the event roughed up. The scene was a repeat of what happened yesterday. A small group has been demonstrating for five days there demanding the right to leave the Soviet Union and the release of a jailed Jewish dissident. Three Western reporters two CBS crewman and a reporter for The Baltimore Sun were arrested today but later released. Efforts to get food and medical supplies to Palestinian refugees in a camp near Beirut have failed once again today despite negotiations between Palestinians and the Shiite Amal militia. The BBC's Jerrold but reports of three days U.N. officials that are being involved in the negotiations with militia leaders originate with the six lorries loaded with food and medical supplies. The fat out it's a good thing in the right way and the food program taking provision to a Shiite neighborhood roundabout

in the end agreement was reached only four trucks. Wouldn't allow badly needed medical supplies to be carried to an already close to boys when they came under rocket fire. They won Laurie was heading for the camp itself the other of the Shiite community I've paid for I'm going to apply by the Iranians won't they show that an Iranian envoy in one of the ambulances was killed in the gunfire. The United States today described the hunger situation in Mozambique as disastrous and called on the secretary general of the United Nations to establish an emergency office for coordinating relief efforts. NPR's Elizabeth Colton reports. At the State Department this afternoon USAID announced that approximately 5.7 million Mozambicans more than a third of the nation's population are dependent on food assistance. Director Peter McPherson said that while that southern African nation has not fully recovered from the last drought the principal cause of the

disaster is the continuing rural insurgency. Mozambique. Is the. The situation there is a political disaster not a disaster made by Mother Nature. Food has not been plain because of the war in many places and distribution has been greatly limited because of the war again. Already the United States is supplying forty eight million dollars in food aid to Mozambique for this year but that's barely enough for only one third of the starving. The U.S. is also calling for a meeting of all food donor countries to coordinate their efforts in order to prevent Mozambique's welcoming another Ethiopia. I'm Elizabeth Colton in Washington. The White House said today it has turned over thousands of documents computer disks telephone logs and other material to the Tower Commission investigating the Iran-Contra affair and presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater says Mr. Reagan is expecting a very critical very tough report from the panel that's water says the president wants the commission to lay it all

out and the administration will take its lumps. The chief of staff at the Department of Health and Human Services acknowledged today that President Reagan's proposal to provide catastrophic health care for the elderly is very modest. Thomas Burke said more could be done if more federal money was available. But he expressed doubt that Congress will be willing to go much beyond the administration's plan. Burke noted in particular that the proposal would not cover long term nursing home care. The big problem with nursing home care is that the dollars simply aren't there at this time. This is a step. This proposal should be viewed as a as everyone has said a first step down the road. The problem nursing home may have to be addressed. The average cost of nursing home care is twenty two thousand dollars a year. A massive student protest erupted into violence today in downtown Madrid. Thousands of students descended on the capital to demonstrate against the government's refusal to scrap college entrance exams. This is NPR in Washington.

the Dow Jones industrial average jumped more than 17 and a half points to close at twenty one eighty three point thirty five. Advances lead declines two to one more than one hundred eighty five million shares changed hands. The average price of a share on the New York Exchange gained 51 cents. A Wall Street executive today pleaded guilty to two felony counts related to illegal insider trading. MARTIN Siegel used to work for the investment firm of Kidder Peabody and company. SIEGEL who moved to Drexel Mbare last year pleaded guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion charges in an alleged swap of information between employees of Kidder Peabody and Goldman Sachs and company and Forsman director Gary Lynch of the Securities and Exchange Commission says he believes the recent crackdown on insider trading will restore credibility to the trading industry. I think the most important doctrinal fact of insider trading that was just the lack of confidence that it could provoke on behalf of some investors the fact that it's now being exposed I think should be viewed as a positive development for the securities industry

and for investors. Yesterday a current and a former vice president for Kidder Peabody and a partner at Goldman Sachs and company.
