That smile, that smile. From his smile I have learned to smile more. Wayman Tisdale
left a body of work on the court and off the court music wise and we
are all thankful for that. He has taught me that you can have a passion
for more than more thing in your life, enjoy what you do, make money at
it and make a slew of friend along the journey. From what I have read
on Mr. Tisdale know matter who he encountered he made you look at life
from the "half full" spectrum.
I'm upset with myself because I only have two of his 8 LPs but it's going to be my mission to get the rest of his music because this guy was truly a gifted bassist. Last Friday he lost his battle with cancer but even dealing with that it seems he passed on so much love to his lovely wife and his children, musicians, former teammates on how to love life, do not take anything for granted.
The selections I bring you are from his "Hang Time" and "Way Up!" albums and I happened to "sneak" in some tracks where for me the bassline really jumped out at me from these artists(Walter Becker, Marcus Miller, Chuck Rainey, Michael Manring). I am so thankful to be able to bring you this spotlight on Wayman Tisdale and I am so thankful that he has left behind a wonderful music library for us to check out over and over again. I hate to say "Rest In Peace" because by Wayman being a Christian I KNOW that I KNOW he's in a better place. May blessings to his wife and his children. Our prayer are with you in this time of sadness but I know when you see that smile of his in photos it brings a huge smile to your face...I know it brightens my heart when hearing his music and seeing that "Billion Dollar" smile of his.
