Wayman's World



Tonight, I had the privilege to go to a screening of the new documentary, "The Wayman Tisdale Story". It will be shown tomorrow night on the NBA channel. It is the life story of Oklahoma's best Basketball player and NBA great. It is also the story of his love of music and his second career as a Jazz Base guitar player. It is also the story of his battle with cancer and his victory.
He did die of cancer, but it did not beat him.

If you get the chance see this film. It is of a man with a smile and a deep faith.

It made me feel bad for ever being sad. He is an inspiration.

The master of ceremonies tonight was sportscaster, Chris Lincoln and a musical tribute by a band that included Grammy Award winner, Marcus Miller, a Jazz Bass player who influenced Wayman's Music.
