Question
I'm doing a report on Doug Forbes,inventor of the talk box and is wondering if theres a page that clearly and accurately has a biography on both him and the talkbox.

Answer
I have used one myself in an earlier band. Took some getting used to! The effect is quite enjoyed by listeners. Wikipedia gives a pretty good description, but check out a site by searching "mocheez". This individual seems to have some great history on the origin of the talk box. Let me know if I need to dig deeper for more info.
