I want to tribute my good friend Olaf Pyttlik. Olaf has been responsible for the original music for many of my most important commercial productions. 
Including our award-winning Centennial spot for the Saskatchewan credit unions and the theme song for Shea's Rockin' World Tour.
Here's a little bio from his blog: "I had an exciting life over the last 12 months: daCapo bought a new building; I turned 40; I travelled to New York a few times as well as to France, Holland and Germany; MTYP produced my show 'Rich' in November (A definite highlight of my career); Angela and I vacationed on the Galapagos Islands and after that volunteered in the slums of Lima, Peru; I was able to attend a production of my musical 'The Wave' in The Netherlands and I finished the score to my first large-scale-52 episodes-animation project called 'Noonbory'."
Simply one of the most talented people on the planet. Olaf has been diagnosed with tongue cancer and starts chemo tomorrow.
Although it's been awhile since I've updated Picante news on my blog and that was my plan when I started this, I find I can't focus on that at all right now.
In an instant, just a few weeks ago, Olaf's life completely changed. (Those pics you see at the top of this post were taken at the Signature Awards on May 6th. Olaf found out he had cancer on May 17th. )

It could happen anytime to anyone. I know cancer touches everyone and in my own family I lost my mom, my sister had breast cancer and my brother fought cancer as well.
I just want Olaf to know that we are with him in his journey and are so hopeful that the wonderful people at CancerCare Manitoba will ensure he beats this thing.
