RE: Emails
We love hearing from our friends! & we do our best to answer everyone, but please use the "comments" for your hi's, hellos, luv's, etc..These emails mixed with our business/radio/label etc...emails is so much to sort out, it's killing us litterally with 80-90 hrs wks.
We know some of you on our short list that are helping us so much with the America/Flag project & will need to need to use emails for somethings that's fine, we really need to keep the email for busineess & the America/Flag project only.
If you want to join in the America/Flag project then do send us an email with your regular email address & we'll get you set up... It's a do as little or as much as you want type deal. (or nothing) It's your life!
Please share with friends that miss this!
Sincerely,
Jeff & Steve Ridler
Influences
OUR BIGGEST INFLUENCE HAS BEEN OUR DAD, DOC RIDLER, WHO SPENT ALOT OF TIME AT OUR PIANO AND FOSTERED THE LOVE OF MUSIC IN OUR WHOLE FAMILY.
OTHER ARTISTS AND BANDS THAT HAVE HAD A BIG INFLUENCE ON US ARE THE EAGLES, MERLE HAGGARD, WAYLON JENNINGS, JIM CROCE AND THE EARLY BEATLES.
We're ... ... "THE RIDLER BROTHERS"... Jeff and Steve
from the
"GREAT PACIFIC NORTHWEST"
WE GREW UP IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY, "OUT IN THE WOODS", NORTH EAST OF "SEATTLE WASHINGTON". BOTH OF US ARE SINGER/SONGWRITERS. MOST OF OUR PERFORMANCES THROUGH THE YEARS HAVE BEEN WITH OUR 6 PIECE BAND, ALTHOUGH HERE'S A FUNNY ONE. AT ONE OF THE SPORTING EVENT GIGS WE'VE DONE, IT WAS JUST FOUR OF US DOING AN A CAPPELLA HARMONEY TAKE OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM FOR A GAME BETWEEN THE N.Y. YANKS AND THE SEATTLE MARINERS. IT SEEMED TO GO QUITE WELL AS THE BASEBALL AUDIENCE WAS REACTING QUITE NICELY BEFORE THEY COULD SAY PLAY BALL (WE LOVE PLAYING BASEBALL TOO), BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY LIKED IT SO WELL AS SOME OTHERS DID BECAUSE SHORTLY AFTER THEY BLEW UP THE KING DOME AND BUILT SAFECO FIELD...HUH ? WE'VE PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS PERFORMED OUR OWN SONGS, ESPECIALLY AT BIGGER SHOWS, BUT HAVE DONE ALL KINDS. WE 'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF PERFORMING WITH MANY OF MUSICS' GREAT ARTISTS AND ACTS LIKE CHARLIE DANIELS, MERLE HAGGARD, THE DESERT ROSE BAND, WAYLON JENNINGS, EARL TC, COLLIN RAYE, ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, DOUG STONE, EXILE, NEIL McCOY AND LONESTAR, TO NAME A SMALL PORTION....TO SAY THE LEAST, WE'VE HAD ALOT OF FUN!.... HAVING RECORDED IN SOME OF THE GREAT STUDIOS LIKE BAD ANIMALS STUDIO X.... NOW WE HAVE OUR OWN RECORDING SETUP WHICH MAKES IT ALOT EASIER FOR US TO RECORD WHEN WE CAN.

Hello Mr. Jeffy When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. Much Love Jeanna
