Does anyone know anything about the status of Steppingstone music? Are they still in business?
Each time I attempt to go to their site I get an "unavailable" message.
Thanks.

I went online, placed an order and mailed a check the early part of July and I thought it strange that I didn't get an email. I haven't heard a word and my check doesn't show up on my statement, I'm not implying that anything is amiss here. Like you I'm just wondering. This is not the usual with Rick.

The site was a pedal steel guitar site with courses by Rick Kornacker (sp).

That Painting by Numbers crack sent him over the edge (you folks are terrorists) or maybe he couldn't pay his web site bill, filled for bankruptcy, got a divorce, bought a 57 chevy with twice pipes and made a Grapes of Wrath migration to California. Butt who Nose?

Rick is a Forum member. Try emailing or sending him a PM.

Fran Newman is also his Mother-in-law, so myabe Fran would know what is going on if you contact Jeffran Music. Good luck and let us know what's up. I found the "paint by numbers" quite beneficial and learned a lot from Rick's courses. stevet

Rick is a friend of mine on facebook. He states there that he is out of the business, so it no longer exists.
He gave no specific reason and I think that is up to him if he wishes to tell us why. However I need no explaination.
I'm very sorry he went out of business and I hope he may change his mind and start it up again. I wish him all the best.

I think that is his wife or ex wife. Rick said on facebook he had nothing to do with that.

I ordered this item paid for it through Pay Pal
Have not heard a word and the email address came back as invalid and they don't answer the phone number provided. I don't want to kick these folks while their down and I feel for them what they are going thru.
If I loss $19 no big deal but to disrespect me by not giving a good excuse is a big deal.
That site is now listed as unregistered and there are lot of items not shipped cases pending. Let me know if you are a person who has had their issue resolved so I won't waste my time trying to resolve this issue

Hey all! Finally an opportunity to drop in after all this time. Just to clear the air...I have had to drop out for about the last six months due to some significant family health issues. It has affected my ability to participate on the Forum, maintain my web-site, and to provide some of the services I have provided in the past. Since my wife was also affected by these issues she was not able to keep up with things regarding my steel guitar interests. Unfortunately, for the near future at least, I will probably not be up to speed. For anyone who would like to(or needs to) contact me please do..615-633-7361. I will not have any of my materials available at this time, although some new possibilities of involvement in the industry are possible. Right now I will "chill" and get back on track. Stuart..thanks for the order, I was just not able to fill it. Take care all and let's keep Bobby's great thing rollin' ! Until the next time..all the best Rick K.

Rick my money was refunded and I have no problem regarding this matter.
Hope everything works out for you and your family. Hope you get your web site back up soon.
Hey Chris you need a 57 chevy with a super-charged defogger because you're full of Frijoles Laughing
