Hi Trey, I toured briefly with The Tony Liddle edition of the band. We played the Vetrock show at Willow Grove NAS, Buffalo show, and in Bloomington, Ill.

Later I was with Hilton Valentine Band. I was asked to join the band when Jim Rodford couldn't enter the US. Also asked but couldn't enter the US was Noel Redding. Tony Liddle and John Steele are the only surviving members of that lineup.

Hilton lived in nearby Wallingford and I live in Waterbury,CT. I do have pictures of us on my Facebook page. 32.214.230.15 (talk) 20:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia requires that sources of information are both reliable (having an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight) and independent (having no personal, political or financial interest in the subject). This heavily favours mainstream news organizations, academic press, and reputable publishers of newspapers, books and magazines. Wikipedia articles are merely paraphrased summaries of what has already been published in these types of sources.

Unpublished personal knowledge and experience is called original research here, and is not allowed because it is inherently not verifiable. Likewise, social media is self-published with no editorial review, and is therefore disqualified. The only exception is if it is the official account of an existing reliable source.

If you can find reliable sources that mention your involvement with the band at length (not just brief mentions), then please cite this source. Regardless, you should not edit articles about any subject where you have a personal or professional connection - this is a conflict of interest. You should instead submit an edit request that can be reviewed by neutral editors first. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
