Mel Tillis, a well-known star of country music (to US country music fans), stutters ... and even Mel makes light of it.....often joking about comical events in his life revolving around his stuttering....and so do his friends.

They imitate Mel, not as a put down, but as a sign of respect and admiration of his perseverance and ccomplishments in the music world, despite his stuttering. Music was his therapy, he stutters when he talks, but not while singing....
