Bo Diddley has begun humming along to country songs on the radio, indicating that he is slowly recovering from a stroke two weeks ago.
His long-time manager Margo Lewis told the Reuters news agency that whilst the 78-year-old rock 'n' roll legend is still struggling with basic communication, she believes he is slowly responding to intensive occupational therapy."When he gets up in the morning he'll hum while he's brushing his teeth. And when he goes to breakfast he'll start humming along (to) a song," Lewis said. "It'll just come to his head. He's not saying the words but he's humming the tunes."
She added that Diddley has been enjoying listening to the local country and western radio station whilst recovering at the Shands Rehab Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. He moved there last week from the Creighton University Medical Centre in Omaha, Nebraska. He is expected to stay in the rehab hospital for another two weeks, before moving to his nearby 60-acre estate.
