Bo Diddley's manager Margo Lewis has told reporters that the rock n roll legend is showing indications that he is recovering from his previously reported stroke. It's just two weeks since Diddley was taken ill, but Lewis says he's responding well to intensive occupational therapy.
Lewis says: "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. It'll just come to his head. He's not saying the words but he's humming the tunes".
She adds that Diddley has been listening to the local country radio station during his recovery in hospital in Gainesville, Florida. He is expected to leave the facility in two weeks time.
