Video of the Week
“Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues”
Michael was invited to perform at the Pure Country music festival in Wolsztyn Poland backed by the fantastic European Union Band.
Founded by Magdalena Łuszczynska and Michael Lonstar, the Pure Country Music Festival is one of Europe's premiere country music showcases.
Here is one of my favorite musical moments of the evening: Danny O'Keefe's timeless classic "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues".
Enjoy.
