LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – American country music performer Charlie Daniel, whose hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" won him a Grammy in 1979, is recovering at home after suffering a mild stroke, his agent said.
Daniels, 73, was snowmobiling in Colorado on Friday when he suffered the stroke and was released from hospital two days later. He has no plans to cancel any upcoming concert dates.
"Charlie is doing well and looking forward to beginning The Charlie Daniels Band 2010 concert dates on February 27th in Ft. Pierce, Florida and February 28th in Brooksville, Florida," his agent said in a statement.

Hope it turns out better for him that a stroke did for Bob Wills!
Get well, Charlie!
A humble Prayer for him~!
I too love that ad. It’s a good one and always brings a smile. Wishing him a complete recovery and good health. We need more like him, especially in these times.

You and probably about another 20 or so freepers of a certain age would catch that reference right off...I wasn’t even born in 1969. :)
Seriously though, prayers up for Mr. Daniels a good Christian and patriot.
Prayers for Brother Charles. G-d Speed his recovery!
Not ALL the good ones die young Brother!
Prayers for his recovery.
God Bless You Charlie!
Doctor Jesus is ON the case!
Get well soon, you make the Devil nervous!
“That’s how ya do it son!” ;)
Yeah - he a looks like he almost has a stroke right there.
I hope he recovers quickly.
He washes at one of my car washes...very very approachable bear of a man.
Godspeed.
Hopefully, it didn’t affect his hand-eye coordination or his motor skills, so needed to fiddle like he does.
Get well, Charlie!
prayer bump
Thank God, he doesn’t have to depend on Obamacare.
Get well, Charlie!
I was at his first “Fire on the Mountain” concert, with Dickey Betts.
