Any stuttering musicians?

Any stuttering musicians? I used to be a drummer when I was 14 up until I was 17, then I switched over to being a singer-songwriter when I turned 18. It kind of sucks when I perform and I have to do s...

Has anyone's stutter changed since childhood? (Evolved?)

Has anyone's stutter changed since childhood? (Evolved?) When I was younger (been stuttering for as long as I can remember) I would stutter like so: "M-m-m-mom c-can we go to th-the m-movies?" Around...
