The Steel Guitar Forum

Please pass information on as not everyone may see this.

On June 30th my current website provider, GoDaddy, is discontinuing the current platform. They will shut down any access to it and even I won't be able to access it.

As I have a multitude of projects around the ranch that I've put off for 10 years, due to supplying parts, it's time to get them taken care of. I'm TEMPORARILY shutting down production for the next 3-6 months.

However, I will return in the future.

I will not be answering emails nor phone calls that I don't recognize. I understand that this is going to be inconvenient for many of you but it's something that I have to do.

Thanks for all of your past business and will see y'all later.

Thanks

Michael Yahl

Best of luck getting your projects done Michael!!
I sure have appreciated all the parts you've provided over the years!

Okay my brother and by all means, I will help no worries, you to catch up. Remember I just moved to the big family ranch there in Bertram,Texas; so I'm right down the road from you and I got my new shop all set up and there's only one steel guitar on the bench,, So I have room and BTW; I'm playing Bo's Barn this Friday night come out say hey. Here's a picture of our Ranch House.

Lots of appreciation for your services, Michael, and lots of disappointment to be losing you as a resource.
Best of luck.

I hope all goes well, Michael. Give me a shout if you get up this way. BTW I am tentatively planning to go to Bo's this Friday to hear Ricky play.

Michael , thx for all you have done for the community. Shutting down a website and starting over with a new hosting service is no easy thing to do, been there done that. It can be an exhausting undertaking.

Take a breath, relax, work on other projects etc. Its new brain time !

Best to you

Thanks J.R.; I don't think I put on the Forum; I did on Facebook of moving from Hays County to Burnet County. I lived with my Mom and was her CareTaker for 5 years in Buda; then she passed almost 2 years ago and this last half a year My Sister Ginger came down with Parkinson's disease and since I'm the "CareTaker" of the Family; I moved her to one of the Family Houses on the huge "Rocky Top Ranch" up between Burnet and Bertram; and I will care for her as she progresses; hopefully slowly....I'm also a physical Therapist and so I have her Moving and Circulating every day and hopefully she'll come by it all very easily like she is so far.
Ricky

And to think I just sent you an email Michael two minutes before I found this thread...

Get 'er done!

Bless you, Ricky. I hope for the best for Ginger.

One of my old buddies in San Antonio was diagnosed with Parkinson's and, so far, he is doing very well with a regimen of meds and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), where they implant electrodes deep into the brain. So far, they are keeping the tremors to a minimum. He said most of the time he is tremor free and few people even know he has Parkinson's.

Thanks so much Lee for the caring and supportive thoughts.
My sister is still doing good only shaking on one side(arm/hand) but as if it progresses, I'll certainly look into that brain stimulator. physical therapy is keeping circulation going really good with her, I make her work out almost every day, circulation is the key to life.
Ricky

Michael thanks so much for all the help you given me over the years with my projects, and stuff required for my own guitars .... good luck with catching up with all your ranch chores and hopefully you get back to making parts etc when your ready ...
warmest regards mate !!

Michael is a true gentleman, and his work is exemplary. Winding up his metal work business will leave a very large hole, but he does need to get his priorities right. I just feel richer for having met with and dealt with Michael in the past. Hope you achieve all that you want in life my friend.

Yes thank you Michael. Any news when you expect to reopen. Regards, Brian
