THE LEGENDARY MERLE HAGGARD

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 AS
WELL AS SHOWING AN OWED RESPECT FOR THE
ARMED SERVICES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE
NATIONS DEFENSE.
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 BOTH
HONESTLY & LEGALLY.
IN OTHER WORDS, LET'S
STAY TRUE TO THE ONLY SYSTEM THAT HAS EVER
REALLY WORKED. PROVIDENCE LEAD OUR
FOUNDING FATHERS TO DISCOVER THIS. THEN
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
OLIGARCHIES & DICTATORSHIPS SUPPRESSING
THE PEOPLES RIGHTS ... TILL  AGAIN ... ALONG
COMES REVOLUTION.
WE HAVE A GREAT THING. LETS KEEP IT & TWEAK
IT, AS NEEDED, STAYING TRUE TO ITS'
CONSTITUTIONS FOUNDING PRINCIPALS. IT
ALLOWS FOR THAT. "WE THE PEOPLE", GAVE THAT
RIGHT !

THE GUYS HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED
MUSICALLY BY
CHARLIE DANIELS, MERLE HAGGARD, HANK
WILLIAMS JR. AND SR.,
THE GAITHERS, THE EAGLES,  DAVID ALLEN
COE, ALAN JACKSON,
AND MOST OF ALL BY THEIR DAD, "DOC"
RIDLER aka The Piano Man
AND THEIR MOM (JAN) A NURSE AND PIANIST
ALSO. SOMEONE WAS ALWAYS PLAYING
GOSPEL, STANDARDS & COUNTRY WHEN
THEY WERE KIDS.
The Story of the "The Flag"
"The Flag" was written after catching a part of Sean
Hannitys' "Man on the Street".
He was talking to people
about what their country meant to them, various issues &
Americas' many freedoms etc...After Sean politely posed a
question to a young man, he curtly replied back to Sean

"NO... WHAT HAS AMERICA EVER DONE FOR ME"?
Going from anger to sadness to disbelief, Jeff grabbed a
guitar, went to the back room and started writing a song.  
A little later he was joined by his brother Steve. They fine
tuned it, arranged it & then with disbelief at the young
mans attitude and with the strong feelings of their own for
America,
came out 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
AMERICA with its' many freedoms. Many of its' words,
literally coming Jeff
& Steves real life experiences and
quite likely
. . . many of yours too!

"GETTYSBURG" History meets art in metaphor about another time that is eerily similar
in scope & nature re: the nations very survival. Do we face that in todays battles, like the battle
that turned the tide of the American Civil War. This song looks at the parallels from then to
now - with the agents of change being slightly different i.e., freedom of speech, the right to vote
& the willingness to use those rights, instead of the guns and cannons of Gettysburg ? Per a
line in the song, "WE PRAY OUR CHILDREN'S 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 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, about the respect we need to show those who have & do sacrifice so much for 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
of "MAKE YOU THINK" songs & videos to try to help our country.
These songs spell out much of their own beliefs in a real free democratic republic.

One of Jeff & Steve's biggest influences is
“CHARLIE DANIELS”, another quite patriotic sort of fellow, 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” (The Carolina cut) aka...
(History will Judge us), they couldn’t help but think of Daniels haunting 80s hit “Still in Saigon”

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
Jeff & Steve, starting climbing trees right
after learning to walk amongst the huge PAC
NW trees. They became professionals, as
toppers, as teens about the time they were
16
& driving cars. The guys love artwork of
all kinds, not just music, especially if it says
something!
On the video & song page (link is up to the
left) check out
"A MUST SEE & HEAR" of 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
"MADE IN AMERICA"

KEEP THE CHANGE
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 kind note from
Senator John
McCain.
These are posted, on "The
Comments Page"
, for your viewing. We
hope you will send us a comment or
whatever, so we can post it 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...
An example of  reactions of
members in public service, including Senators
&
Congress-persons at Federal
& State levels, who came
to our office, was that some became sincerely teary
eyed choked up while viewing "The Flag"
