Influences
A great influence is Dr. John Turner from Jink and Diddle School of Scottish Fiddling. www.jinkdiddle.com. He is our mentor and dear friend. About everything we know Scottish -wise has been taught by him. We have attended the Jink and Diddle summer school for years now and would recommend it to everyone interested in pursuing traditional music. Dr. John Turner is 10 times National Scottish Fiddling Champion and an adjudicator with Scottish Fire.
Other influences "are my days at "Monti's Music Center" as a young teenager, about 100 years ago!". (says Deb)
The greatest influence is the passion that Jesus gave to us when we first met Him as Savior, and continue to walk with Him now.
Sounds Like
Traditional Scottish fiddling to me! Dawn Wolf writes all the "country" songs because she has "got it in her soul"! She can't help it. ^_^
Deb Johnson writes much of the "ballad" style and Maranatha and Joanna make it all really "Celtic". "We'd be nothing without them...right Dawn?" "Yeah..but wait...we made them who they are". "Now they're going off to college and leaving us high and dry!" "Nope, they promised to come home for gigs...it's in the fine print of my motherhood contract!"
ACTUALLY...MPK SOUNDS LIKE MPK!
MPK is an upbeat Christian band that plays a
variety of styles. We are actually two bands in one:
Contemporary Christian and Scottish Fiddling/Celtic, complete with
fiddles, flute, whistles and drums.
Boasting the McNeil heritage, you will see our
tartan everywhere you can find MPK.
We perform many traditional 18th century Scottish
Fiddle tunes. We also write and perform all our own songs.
Our concerts integrate music, poems, worship, dance and skits and
have a positive message for the whole family.

Hi!!!, Thanks again!, (my english is not good at all so sorry) I hope I'm not missing any of your questions, ok here I go, We sing in spanish (mexican spanish), the video its just an edition of many videos searched by the internet, my sister JEMM choosed, cutted, synchronized it. DUNAMISproject is a new project (not so new hahaha) integrated by praise directors ands their wifes of diferent churches (congregations), and my sister, We all write and compose, this singular song is writen and composed by me, we just use a synthetizer, our PC and my PC microphone hahahaha, some effects, and voila!!!, we learned that we don´t need too much to do the work that God have given to each who is called His son...
also I personally love Celtic music, since I heard Eden's Bridge Band, then I heard Maire Brennan (Whisper to the wild water) I buyed (is it right?) a penny whistle that I play on "La vision de Juan" song, I don't know how but I feel so familiar whit Celtic music even to like so much as mexicans love MARIACHI music hahaha.
I'll try to translate faithfully the song "Gloria al altisimo" to english:
// El cielo es tu eterno trono
The heaven is your ethernal throne
Y la tierra es el estrado de tus pies
And the earth is your footstool //
PRECHORUS
// Mis ojos no puedo abrir sin ver que tu estas ahi
When I open my eyes I can't avoid to see You there
Siempre, en todo tiempo y lugar te adoraré
Always, anytime, anywhere i shall worship you //
CHORUS
// Nada se mantiene en pie frente a tu poder y amor
Nothing can keep standing in front your power and your love

I've got some life-saving news! Jesus is alive ! "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him:lo,I have told you."
