• Keep RS are out there:

1. According to McFarlane:
   1. Stewart "Leadfinger" Cunningham, was a member of Asteroid B-612 from 1994 to 1996, then he was in Challenger 7 during 1997, while continuing with Brother Brick (with two Tumbleweed alumni), which issued an album in 1999, A Portable Altamount. 1
   2. Cunningham was still a member of Challenger 7 in 1998 and had been in Proton Energy Pills, Asteroid B-612, and Brother Brick. The latter also issued three singles.2
   3. Proton Energy Pills formed in ca. 1989 with Cunningham; they became Tumbleweed sans Cunningham in October 1990.3
2. According to Holmgren: Tumbleweed contained three ex-Proton Energy Pills members and one future member of Brother Brick.4
3. According to APRA: Leadfinger has performed at least 64 works with the vast majority written by Stewart Cunningham, about 5 or so are co-written by Cunningham with band mates, and 2 or 3 are cover versions by other artists.5 Note: with the APRA ref you may have to undertake a search. If so, click on 'Search again' tab and at 'Performer:' enter Leadfinger. Then do the same for Proton Energy Pills, Brother Brick, and Challenger 7.

• Further Edit acknowledgement

I don't have time to complete further addition of Reliable Sources and Notability to the article at the moment but I will commence asap. Thank you shaidar cuebiyar for your referencing work. I am obviously a Wiki 'newbie' but acknowledge the article in question needs further refinement and editing. Chris Troutman, I am working to improve independent reliable resources, I believe the subject is notable but not having been through this process previously I appreciate your patience and any advice as I work to resolve issues you raised.
