I happened to hear a quick little blurb on our local Christmas radio station about a Celtic Christmas with MPK in Marshfield, WI. They stated the band has the National Scottish Fiddler champion. O.k. we are going!
It was a lovely concert! We took Josh, Justine and Marlene, my mother in law (it was her birthday gift). We all loved it! I had no idea we had this national talent in central Wisconsin. Not only is Joanna the Scottish National Fiddler champion, she also is the composition champion - her original pieces are amazing! The whole family writes their own music - wow! Here is her winning fiddle piece on YouTube:

This concert not only had great music, but a truthful message of what Christmas is all about. I kept looking around to see who was "offended" sad to say, but that is the world we live in even in small town Wisconsin. During the intermission I told Joanna how talented she was. She quickly said "well, all glory goes to God" how refreshing! I said "yes, He gives us good gifts and we should use them to his Glory. Good job using yours!"
I am so glad I heard that little blurb on the radio! I am sure this is the first of many MPK concerts I will attend. If you want you can check out their page here: https://www.facebook.com/mpkband/
Christmas is HIS story - enjoy and rejoice in it!
Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.
