    Being a stutterer my self I wrote to Mel and received a 2 page handwritten response from Mel who is a giant in the country music business and a mega- lovely man who has inspired millions of people with a speech impediment by this giant. Mel- your fans love you and will miss you but we still have your recordings and videos like this one that show your wicked sense of humor! 5:06

      @@dovy707 Well, with all do respect, the left won't show us. It was done to secure the stars talent & spots. Then it was done to oppress our happiness. Then it was done because Gay wanted to be stars. Then it done to silence real hearted music. Now country music isn't what it should be. I removed ALL of my material. I'm not a LEFT supporter, and my comments reflected it. The result was shadowbanned. No one seen my material. Or thumbed it up. I got insulted instead by left wingers attacking my page. Sad world we live in. But when bad people control our world, we'll have nothing but CRAP in it to live with.

    I love this era of country music. Not only for the fact that music is so good but for how all these singers were so dang funny. Mel Tillis, Merle, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash and so on. They were always joking around. Reminds me of my Dad.

      @@emmalouie1663 it's actually the brain using different parts to do each task. Singing and speaking are handled differently, so whatever wiring might cause stuttering or stammering when speaking aren't used, or are bypassed, when singing. The same can happen with just reading aloud from something written down, same outcome (mouth makes words), but different parts of the brain doing the work

    Hey Baby...w-w-why don't you give your 'ol-'ol-'ol horse a rest...Cuz' there ain't no use in us...ttt-trying to wear out your brand new sss-saddle. Then Mel belts out: "Well...I got the Horse and you got the Saddle. We like to ride side by side." The Best! Thank God for musicians like of Mel Tillis, Roy Clark, and Glen Campbell. The list can go on and on...for sure. But the best of them were sitting right there together in this show!
