Baxie talks with author Gina Waggott about her new book “Scatman John: The Remarkable Story of the World’s Unlikeliest Pop Star”. This is an astonishingly story of the late John Larkin whose 1994 single “Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop) became an international sensation. What makes his story so incredible is that he was a 52-year-old jazz musician who survived drug addiction, recovery, child sexual abuse, bullying, and crippling isolation and insecurity from a lifetime of stuttering. It’s a story of a man who embraced his challenged and turned them into a superpower! Gina talks about the book but also about her friendship with Scatman John and how he helped her accept her own issues with stuttering. One of the greatest stories ever!
