I intended to qualify the statement. Slip on my part.

I hadn't actually noticed that.

Hmmm... so if she memorized something like lines for a part in a play, would she stutter when reciting them? Not talking about reciting them in front of an audience, but just rehearsing them?

Not that I see her getting into a play. Playing music for an audience is one thing; for a stutterer to get up on stage is another thing, I'd imagine. I do know, from personal experience, that I get a lot more nervous about speaking in front of an audience than I do playing an instrument in front of one; it's almost like the bass is a shield between me and them. Of course, it helps that people usually don't pay much attention to the bass player in a rock band. (Doesn't help so much when you're playing jazz or funk, though. Especially when the bass solo rolls around.)
