| THEY HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO HAVE PERFORMED WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST INCLUDING THE LEGENDARY MERLE HAGGARD AND CHARLIE DANIELS, ALSO WITH EARL THOMAS CONLEY, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, NEIL MCCOY, COLIN RAYE, EXILE, LONESTAR, AND MANY OTHERS. |
| AMONG OTHER THINGS, JEFF & STEVE RIDLER ARE PRODUCERS & SINGER SONG WRITERS OF MULTIPLE GENRES. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THEIR FANFARE HAS CAME FROM AMERICANA-COUNTRY-CROSSOVER MUSIC & VIDEOS, AS WELL AS SOME BIG BAND, ROCK & GOSPEL MUSIC. THEIR MAJOR FOCUS, IN ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES, IS PRESENTLY ON THINGS PATRIOTIC & HOPEFULLY HELPFUL TO THE SALVATION OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. THE USA WAS BORN WITH GOVERNMENT GETTING ITS' POWER FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED. ITS' PEOPLE SHOULD PROSPER IN A HEALTHY & INCORRUPTIBLE MANNER (WHY WE NEED 3 BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT WITH TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY) I.E., THE CHECKS & BALANCES; BEHAVING AS SUCH; HONESTLY & LEGALLY. IN OTHER WORDS, LET'S STAY TRUE TO THE ONLY SYSTEM THAT HAS EVER REALLY WORKED. IT WAS GIVEN TO US BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, WHEN FOR THE 1ST TIME IN HISTORY CAME THE CHANCE, FOR ANY NATIONS PEOPLE, THROUGH A REPRESENTATIVE FORMAT TO GOVERN THEIR OWN REPUBLIC, WITH RESTRICTIONS FOREMOST ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. LIKE IT SAYS IN THE "DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE" "DERIVING ITS' JUST POWERS BY THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED". HAVING WATCHED & LEARNED FROM HISTORY THEIR WHOLE LIVES, THE RIDLERS ARE AWARE THAT PROGRESSIVELY SOCIALISTIC, BIG GOVERNMENTS NEVER LAST, AS THEY EVENTUALLY FAIL, TO BECOME DICTATORSHIPS OR OLIGARCHIES THAT SUPPRESS PEOPLES RIGHTS TILL AGAIN, ALONG COMES REVOLUTION. WE HAVE A GREAT THING, LETS KEEP IT & TWEAK IT, AS NEEDED. IT ALLOWS FOR THAT. "WE THE PEOPLE", GAVE IT THAT RIGHT ! |

The Story of the "The Flag"
"The Flag" was written after catching a news interview by
Sean Hannity, talking to people on the street about what
America meant to them and its many freedoms etc..After
Sean politely posed a question to a young man, he
shockingly replied back "NO... WHAT HAS AMERICA
EVER DONE FOR ME"?
Going from anger to sadness to disbelief, Jeff went to the
back room and started writing the song. A little later he
was joined by Steve. They fine tuned it, arranged and with
the strong feelings they both share, came up with . . .
"THE FLAG"
The song talks about traditional values, the Pledge of
Allegiance, with its under God line, patriotism, respect for
our armed services and the many precious things about
our culture with its' many freedoms. It's words, literally
come from Jeff & Steves real life experiences, as well as
likely . . . many of yours.

"GETTYSBURG" The battle of Gettysburg is the most famous battle of the civil war, one
which turned the tide of that war. This song looks at the parallels from then to now - A country
torn apart and the battles that take place. Today we battle with signs, protests and our
freedom of speech instead of the guns and cannons of Gettysburg. Per a line in the song, "WE
PRAY OUR CHILDRENS FATE IS NO FIELD, LIKE A DEAD MANS FIELD AT GETTYSBURG".
The government needs to start listening to the will of the people as we take our stance
peacefully.
"MADE IN AMERICA" a song & an upcoming CD title. The song will also be on
the CD "The America Flag," a promo CD. This song will also be on 2 other CD's this year by R&R Music
Recordings, Orlando. Including of course the upcoming CD "Made in America".
On the Video & Song page you, along with other newer recordings & videos will find the Audio & video of
Ridler originals like "THE FLAG," which is done in several arrangements... A series of the song
with various tempos and styles, but the same words & message. All of it's versions are about keeping our
freedoms, how our country is being
rearranged & the respect we need to show those who have given us our freedoms.
"History Repeats Itself" " Is an account of a free market democratic republics methods
vs those of Marxist/socialistic ones, depicted in a historical, artistic formate" (a common theme
of FNCs Glenn Beck).
"Keep the Change" ! A satirical debate between a
conservative & a leftist. After all this seriousness on such important matters, it seemed time for some
comic relief. It takes a few jabs at those very liberal, some would say, progressive socialistic ideals &
agenda that could destroy our democratic republics last chance e.g., "The United States Constitution".
Also coming, the serious, but fun, play on words "Have a Party"
The Ridlers writing of “The Flag” song was inspired in large part, by a nasty, ungrateful remark about
America from a young man, while he was interviewed on the
street by “SEAN HANNITY”. This, along with Jeff & Steve Ridlers own
feelings about America, compelled them to write "The Flag" & then they followed this with a compilation
to try to help our country.
These songs spell much of their beliefs in a real free democratic republic.
One of Jeff & Steves biggest influences is “CHARLIE DANIELS”, seen above, on this page, when “The
Ridler Brothers”
played their first concert with Daniels, in the 90s.
Along with Charlie, Jeff & Steve in the picture above are guitarists Darren Wayne & James Michael
Thomas.
Both brothers say they can’t ever recall meeting a more decent, down to earth man than Daniels, even
with the
dozens of major stars they’ve performed with. They were impressed that the living legend, super talented
singer/writer/musician was so humble & just plain friendly, while visiting a bunch back stage, prior to
stepping out.
Jeff & Steve also say while creating the minor chord arrangement of “The Flag” (History will Judge us),
they couldn’t help but think of Daniels haunting 80s hit “Still in Saigon”
which turned the tide of that war. This song looks at the parallels from then to now - A country
torn apart and the battles that take place. Today we battle with signs, protests and our
freedom of speech instead of the guns and cannons of Gettysburg. Per a line in the song, "WE

On the video & song page (link is up to the

7 language super singing sensation "Sonia
Bettencourt" of Portugal singing "JOHN
DOE" written by Jeff Ridler.
Steve comes in the later part of the song
doing a bit of a musical tango with sonia.
Keep your eyes & ears peeled. You may soon
hear her doing on another composition of
Jeffs,..."ONCE UPON A TIME", in a duet
primarily with Steve. It will most likely find its
way on to the Ridlers next long play CD

| We've had great responses to "THE FLAG" from people all over, even beyond America. Along with many other peoples remarkable stories & comments, there is a nice note from Senator John McCain. These are posted for your viewing. We hope you will send us a comment or whatever, so we can post on there as well. Also Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Armed Services Com) asked for "The Flag" for a major political function of hers; and many etcz...(1 example) of the several members of public service, including several Senators & Congress-persons at Federal & State levels, who came to our office, some became quite teary eyed hearing "The Flag" |

You probably recognize Alan
Jackson between Jeff & Steve,
but on the right is Nathan Crow,
who's a producer/writer/musician,
you will see poggo sticking with a
bass guitar in the Tommy 2 Tone
video, Jenny (876) 5309!, when
VH-1 or someone airs the old
favorite. Last time the Ridlers saw
him, he was writing with Victoria
Shaw, who wrote "The mega hit
"The River" for Garth Brooks.
