Country Musician Charlie Daniels Suffers Mild Stroke

The best way to combat a stroke is to get immediate medical attention. And it sounds like he did.

Fiddler-guitarist Charlie Daniels said he suffered a mild stroke while snowmobiling in Colorado and has some stiffness and numbness in his left hand and arm.

Daniels, 73, suffered the stroke Friday just outside Durango, about 230 miles southwest of Denver. He was treated at a local hospital then airlifted to a Denver hospital, where he was released on Sunday.

In a posting on his Web site Wednesday, Daniels said he was starting physical therapy. He didn't say whether his playing had been affected but wrote, "I'm doing fine."

Another statement on the Web site says he doesn't plan to cancel any concerts. His next appearance is scheduled for Feb. 27 in Fort Pierce, Fla.

Good for him. I know he always appears in Sean Hannity's concert series every year, I'm glad he will be able to do it again. The proceeds go to a good cause.
