There's a cool version of Barry White's "Never Gonna Give you up" on his latest album with Toby Keith on vocals!

He is keeping the Groove now with King David
RIP W.T. are prayers are with your family |

I will say that I'm inspired by people who live life so fully the way that Wayman seemed to do...and every photo I've ever seen of him he had a great big smile on his face. Best to his family and friends. |

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen

I had the good fortune of attending a Wayman Tisdale clinic at Bass day NYC a few years back. He was interviewed by Chris Jisi. He was playing a Tobias / GK rig. He was a huge guy..towered over Chris Jisi and the bass looked like a toy around his neck..The clinic was great - some great playing and good exchanges with Chris.. I have a picture that I will post later today..
What a shame..RIP WT
