THIS Saturday, November 11, Pulse will play a benefit at the First Annual Troy Moyer Memorial Dance at Beltzner Hall on the Kutztown Fairgrounds. The doors open at 6:30 and Pulse starts promptly at 7:00 pm. Your donation of $15 gets you refreshments, music by Pulse, and benefits the Troy Moyer Cancer Fund. (Troy passed away last year.) You must be at least 21 to enter. Call for tickets now: Ray Moyer 610-682-6455 Wert's Beverages: 610-682-2411 Michelle's Corner Salon: 610-682-6638 Tickets will be available at the door. On November 18, Pulse returns to the Alburtis Rod and Gun Club for the final public show of 2006. PULSE plays at the level of a tribute band without specializing on any 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).
