was a stutterer. But she didn't stutter if she sang her sentences.
So when she was young, her mother had her sing all her sentences and it worked..........

Maybe just a rumor.

There is a group that is a new group working with Alzheimer's patients that just sit and stared most of the time, never saying much.
They started playing music to them from their early life and most cheered up, and started signing along.......

I know too well.. with dementia, often times the artistic part of their brain has not been damaged, and they do respond to music. With us, it did not work. As one of her family caretakers, I can easily say this was the roughest time ever. If anyone is caring for a dementia loved one..Google Teepa Snow, the pioneer of caring. She taught me so much. We buried Norma 4 months ago.

He was a very successful country music singer and songwriter. He had a severe stutter when speaking, but not when he sang. He never overcame his stutter 100% but did learn to speak more fluently over the years. In the meantime, he had many hit records, and also wrote songs that were hits for other artists, including his most famous, "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town," which was a monster hit for Kenny Rogers. He was inducted into both the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame, and was awarded the the National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama.

He can't get through a two word sentence without lying..........And not a lot unlike the other siblings and their spouses.......

If I were a child of Trump's I would walk in front of a train out of fear it was something in the family gene pool or something extremely contagious......
