Talk:Thaddeus von Clegg

Kazoo?
Most of this article seems to relate to the 'kazoo', which already has its own article. On that basis, I'd propose to remove most of this section. Scoop100 (talk) 15:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd propose to remove it on the basis that there is no evidence for ANY of these statements.Motleyjust (talk) 17:55, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Any citations or proof?
I can find no verification for the term Clegghorn as another name for a kazoo. Is there any citations for this?

I can find no verification that Thaddeus von Clegg was involved in the building of the first kazoo. Are there any citations for this?

I can find no verification that Thaddeus von Clegg existed. Are there any citations for this?

Is there any proof for any of the statements on this page? If there is, I would like very much to know them; If not, I would like this page to be removed. Motleyjust (talk) 13:11, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * No, there is no proof. The story of Thaddeus Von Clegg was almost certainly created from whole cloth in 1977 by a comedy-kazoo act called the Kaminsky Quartet.
 * The name, "Von Clegg," is almost certainly a reference to Col. Clegg, the title of a Pink Floyd song that features a chorus of kazoos.

 * An early version of the story can be seen at: The Pocono Record (Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania), May 4, 1977, page 20. Svaihingen (talk) 01:51, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
