Charles Elliot and Pat Dunn

In case you haven't heard of either of these new country western singers I wanted to pass along this information. These singers were just at Kapnick Orchard and my son Dean and I had the pleasure to listen to them. Did I mention that I know Charles and his wife Eleana they are from Lenawee county. I just met Pat yesterday. Check out their music. http://www.charleselliott.net/Music.html Sorry I don't see a link for Pat. Some say Pat looks and sounds like Alan Jackson. I'll allow you to decide. Pat opens for Charles. Pat and Charles above and Charles Elliot on the bottom.
