(NEW YORK) - Junior Wells remains in a coma in a Chicago hospital. The blues great has been unconscious since his heart failed the morning of Sept. 5, but according to his longtime manager Marty Salzman, Wells responded yesterday to a doctor's instruction to squeeze his hand. "It's a start," Salzman says, "but he's not out of the woods yet." Wells, 62, suffers from lymphoma.
