- **Event Description**: Join us for our next NSA Dallas Chapter Meeting on Monday, March 31, where we’ll explore the powerful theme: “Scatman John and Other Role Models.”

You may know the hit song “Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)”—but behind that song is one of the most inspiring stories in the stuttering community.

Scatman John (John Paul Larkin) was a jazz pianist who struggled with a severe stutter from childhood and was often bullied because of it. For many years he hid behind the piano, afraid to speak publicly. Yet in his early 50s—when many people believe their biggest opportunities have already passed—he did something remarkable: he turned his stutter into his signature sound and became a global pop star.

His 1995 song “Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)” sold millions of copies worldwide and became a #1 hit in many countries. The message of the song was simple but powerful:

“If the Scatman can do it, so can you.”

Scatman John later used his platform to advocate for people who stutter and helped bring global awareness and encouragement to the stuttering community.

Recently, our friend in the stuttering community, Gina Waggott, released a new biography titled “Scatman John: The Remarkable Story of the World’s Unlikeliest Popstar.” The book shares the deeper story of how John overcame bullying, shame, and fear to transform what many saw as a limitation into a powerful message of confidence and self-acceptance.

At this meeting we’ll talk about:

• The incredible journey of Scatman John
• What his story teaches us about confidence and self-acceptance
• Other inspiring role models who stutter
• How role models can shape our own journey

Whether you stutter, support someone who does, or simply want to connect with a supportive community, this will be a meaningful and encouraging conversation.
