Ranger Doug, the Idol of American Youth (and my idol, as well!) His smooth baritone, incredible guitar playing, superb yodeling, and beautiful songwriting make RD an entertainer without peer in the western music genre.
Too Slim, the Man with a Dozen Friends (and I'm proud to say I'm one of 'em!) Too Slim's smooth bass lines, his clean harmonies, and his on-stage antics make any Riders in the Sky show an entertainment feast (for those of us "starved for entertainment")!
Woody Paul, the King of the Cowboy Fiddlers (and king of many hearts as well!) The incredible range of Woody's voice, combined with his matchless fiddle playing (he's never had a lesson!) make for a musical experience you'll never forget!
Joey, The CowPolka King(play dat funky music, Slovinian Boy!) As president of the Joey Fan Club and a confirmed polkaholic (as long as Joey's playing the polka!), I can honestly say that Joey has my heart for keeps! and
Texas Bix Bender, the Voice that Sold a Million Baby Chicks over Border Radio (what can I say? I'm a sucker for a deep-voiced announcer) TBB is not only a velvet-throated, deep-voiced announcer, a peerless purveyor of baby chicks, and a best-selling author of little humor books, he's also a long-time writer of Riders' Radio Theater and many of the Riders' television specials (and a Hee Haw writer, too!). TBB, you can sell me a baby chick any day!
