Holiday Bikes for Kids | BACA Fundraiser Event

The BACA fundraiser event “Holiday Bikes for Kids” on December 9, 2023 at Pink Cadillac’s Diner was a success, and I’m very happy.

We raised over $2000 for BACA.

Local personal and business donations provided many great items that were used for a silent auction that evening.

Sofia Petelina was my right hand woman helping me with many things, such as donations, 50/50 draw, helping organize, selling tickets, etc. in conjunction with the Army and Navy Veterans Club Saskatoon.

Mike Sherstabitoff donated two very cool BMX Pedal bikes that are going to a couple kids that deserve a sweet ride.

Thank you everyone that showed up and donated, with your help and the help of BACA we will put some smiles on kids faces

Ain't No Doubt

Photo credit Sofia Petelina

Doubt!! Yes this is one of my defects of character, as it is for many of us humans.

Why oh why do I doubt myself so often.

I believe doubt is caused by fear, fear of not knowing the outcome, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of so many things.

Well guess what, I also believe in the old saying throw yourself in the fire, in other words try and conquer those fears and just giver Eh?!

And you know what sometimes it works out to much amazement, and afterwards I say hey that wasn’t so bad.

Sometimes I says to myself you’ll get there Shelly, and son of a gun, it’s like how the “F” did that just happen.

Well there ain’t no doubt about it 

Just Giver Eh?!

Sheldon played at an event celebrating singer-songwriters, and had a great time mingling with other musicians from Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

He made the trip to Calgary, Alberta, about a six hour drive from his home, with

girlfriend and photographer, Sofia Petelina.

 The two stopped for a photo op. at a scenic overlook called Horseshoe Canyon near Drumheller, Alberta.

“That is a cool place because it has a bunch of dinosaur bones and a museum,” said Sheldon.

Here is a live action picture of Sheldon performing his set of originals and covers at the showcase, with photo credit by Sofia Petelina.

Here is the poster for the showcase with the other Saskatoon and Manitoba area singer songwriters representing their territories.

18 and Life - what the song means to me

I remember rocking out to this song when I was a teenager, cruising in my car and banging my head to Skid Row, and the parties we had and the good times back then. It seemed like it was so cool to be bad.

But this song also has other values for me, as I have dealt with the consequences of what alcohol can bring, Broken homes, broken bones, near death, depression, anger, over night jail time, and the list goes on and on.

I also have a son that has spent sometime behind bars for his consequences with drugs and alcohol, and the last three years I haven’t been able to see him much because of it. It sucks and it’s sad, but I have a higher power and that is GOD that helps me keep it real in life now.

18 and Life is what can happen if you turn to the dark side in Life. We all do bad shit in life but some of us get caught, and eventually we all suffer the consequences, whether it’s jail for real, or jail in our minds.

Tracy and Big D

Thanks to Tracy and Big D for playing my song for country music fans in Australia on Fraser Coast FM 107.5.

I’m a fan of some of the other artists they played on this set including Clay Walker and Keith Urban. Thanks again - from Canada.

Canadian Outlaw Country Tattoos

Q&A with Canadian Outlaw Country Artist Sheldon Tyacke about tattoos

Sheldon’s Nashville guitar tattoo

Q: What made you want to get your first tattoo?

A: I like art, and especially the art of tattoos. 

For me they define what a person is.  Some people just have random sleeves, or whatever.  That’s not me.

All my tattoos, except maybe for a few drunken ones, have meaning.

I’ve actually been patted on the shoulder from a couple tattoo artists, letting me know that they appreciate my outlook on tattoos.

They said that they like that I do a little bit of research into what tattoos I want on my body, the meaning and such, before I get one.

I got my first tattoo because I thought it was cool, and because hot chicks like tattoos.

Q: What was your first tattoo?

A: My first tattoo was a silhouette of a wolf howling at the moon. I got it at a place called the Shamballa in Edmonton, Alberta. 

I remember when we were writing the song “Tattoos and Guitars,” my cowriter Amanda was asking me to tell the story about my tattoo art.  In true Amanda fashion, right off the bat, she was trying to get at the story.

 You’ll notice that we put a few of the images, including “Shamballa” into the song “Tattoos and Guitars.” 

Q: What would be your advice to somebody who is thinking about getting their first tattoo?

A:  I would say put some thought into the tattoo.  Don’t just get a random piece of art on your arm.  Especially if you’re drinking, and you’re going to regret it the next day.

 If you’re going to put some ink in you, put some thought into it and get something that is meaningful to you or to your life.

 Q: Does it hurt to get a tattoo?

 A: Hell yeah.  But some spots are not as painful as others.

 The most painful spot I have gotten a tattoo is my sternum, solar plexus area – where it’s a really bony area.

 It’s like the old westerns when I should have been biting on a stick when they were taking the bullet out, that kind of thing.

 And the rib cage kind of sucks, too.

Q: What else should I know about getting  tattoos?

 A: I always remember to check what the tattoo artist is using.  If he’s using brand new, sterilized needles. 

 If it looks sketchy, don’t do it.  Go somewhere else.

 Cleanliness, and the professionalism of the tattoo artist is something you should really check out.

 Q: Do you regret any of your tattoos?

A: Not at all.

Q: Do you ever find yourself in conversations with strangers about tattoos?

 A: All the time. Whether it be at the supermarket,  or traveling the world.

 I always have people asking me about different tattoos.

 For instance, the one with the guitar gets commented on a lot.  People always comment on the detail of it.

 Of course there’s the ones I can’t show everybody because I’d have to take my pants off.  (laughs)
