PINNACLE:                                       http://pinnacleband.com
=======================================================================
Pinnacle is scheduled to play a concert at the New Jersey Proghouse on
February 17 so mark your calendars now.  Also playing will be Tripod.

Initial reactions to Meld, our new CD, is overwhelmingly great!  We
think you're in for a real treat when you buy the CD!  Order now
because THEY'RE HERE!!!

WLVR, WDIY, and WMUH are already playing tracks from Meld as well as
many internet radio stations!!!!!

The CD was mastered at Star City Recording by Carl Cadden James (of
InsideOut recording group Shadow Gallery) under the supervision of
legendary producer Jeff Glixman (Kansas, Yngwie Malmsteen).  The cover
art was done by Martin Kornick who has done covers for Emerson, Lake &
Palmer, Transatlantic, and the mighty Spock's Beard.

While you're web surfing, check out the Pinnacle web site at the NEW
address: http://pinnacleband.com   You can order Meld there right now!
You can also buy the CD (and our first one, too) at CD Baby.

Our first CD of five original tunes and one extra bonus surprise is
available at our website and at CD Baby!  You can also see any member
of the band to buy your very own copy of our first release called "A
Man's Reach..."  We had fun putting it together and still love the
results.  Check it out at http://cdbaby.com/pinnacle

sound to benefit children and adults in the Lehigh Valley who have
developmental disabilities.

Pulse returns to the concert scene in 2007.  Details, as usual, will be
posted here.  Meanwhile, we've added some Beatles tunes to the
repertoire.

one band.  This is no mean feat!  This high caliber Classic Rock band
plays the music of Steely Dan, Santana, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Moody
Blues, Jethro Tull, Blues Brothers, Beatles, and other top shelf
groups.  The group includes Greg Van Allen (guitars and vocals), Rod
Gilkeson (vocals), Bob Ashmore (Keyboards), Bill Fox (bass and vocals),
and Billy Fenstermacher (drums and vocals).
