Wheels to Skis Geez
Here in Saskatchewan it has been a nontypical start to winter, and I’m not complaining.
This winter our first real snowfall didn’t happen until the second week of January.
Usually we can see snow as early as October , but it mostly starts in November.
It’s been strange seeing people ride their motorcycles on the streets of Saskatoon in the first week of January, but winter is here now.
It’s now time for me to transition from 2 wheels to 2 Skis
This means from motorcycle to snowmobile, and I do like them both, but I have to say my motorcycle is my favourite.
So hey tell me what’s your favourite ride, Bike or Sled.
Either way gotta love that freedom of the ride Eh?!
Check out Sheldon’s song “Yous and Me” where ever you listen -
Perfect View

I have been doing a lot of outdoor activity, even more than ever lately.
Recently I have been trying to explore, or have been given the opportunity to explore some areas around the place I grew up, weekes Saskatchewan.
I have many friends and family that have reconnected lately, some new ones also.
I could speak about the ones I choose not to associate with, by why even go there.
I think All of the friends and family I’ve been reconnecting with have been put there for a reason, for us to reconnect and enjoy the perfect view.
The perfect view, heaven on earth, Gods country, whatever we wish to call it.
So when times are tough, pick your head up no matter how heavy it may seem, get your camera, or just get out there and enjoy what you might consider the perfect view.
It’s amazing how Mother Nature can keep us all on the positive happy path, not in our minds on the negative one
Everyone enjoy the perfect view today Eh?!

Ain't No Doubt

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 in Nashville
I had a great time playing at the Commodore Grille – the first time I played there in the Nashville Songwriter Showcase.

What a blast to play with Amanda, Dennis and Pete.
Drove down with my girlfriend named Sofia who is a photographer, and got a lot of cool pictures.

Met some cool people. A lady from Washington State was there. We chatted with her a bit after. She and her friend were in the front row and said they were really digging the show.
While I was in Music City, I got some great recording sessions at 522 Studio with producer and collaborator Amanda Colleen Williams. There are lots of cool new tracks coming up in the future.
Also had a really cool show at the events center The 7695 and unloaded some Sasquatch gear.

Had a really cool drive down from Canada, but I have to say Milwaukee was my favorite city besides Nashville.
I did have a special stop off in Chicago. I’ll tell you that story sometime.
18 and Life new single release announcement
It blows my mind to think that I’m announcing the release the song “18 and Life” today.
I look back a long time ago rocking out to this song by one of my favorite Canadian artists, Sebastian Bach of the band Skid Row. Never thought I’d be releasing the song as a country artist all these years later.
Goes to show, you just never know what can happen in life and music.
You can preorder the single here, and thanks in advance.

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)
Here’s an original song by Sheldon Tyacke Canadian Outlaw Country artist called “Tattoos and Guitars”
“The only thing I let get near my heart - tattoos and guitars”
Motorcycles
I grew up riding motorcycles.
Most of them that I had my dad could never afford expensive ones. So most of the time, we’d be pushing the motorcycle rather than actually riding the motorcycle.
We come from a mechanical family. My dad would hand me a wrench and say, here’s how you do it, go to it.
Fix it on your own because I don’t want to fix it when I get home.
I first got to buy my own when I was in my 40s, I guess. I love it.
And hot girls love motorcycles.
