  • The name of the CD says all you need to know about Wayman Tisdale. Way Up describes where he kept his spirits and gratitude for all his blessings even through the discovery of his illness and subsequent loss of limb. Finally, Way Up is where he resides right now.RIP

  • What a great guy. He makes you feel good just watching him. So much life he will be missed. God Bless

  • I miss him.....We were at the Dave Koz concert last week in Paso Robles, when he had a tribute to Wayman he said he didn't know where in the universe Wayman was...well I know where he is! He's in heaven with the Lord, playing with the angels. He knew Jesus as his Savior, and is now completely healed in heaven! I am praying for Dave Koz that he will come to know the Jesus that gave Wayman that peace and joy that radiated from his soul, and gave him eternal life in heaven.

  • I believe artists like Wayman who not only have the musical gift, but also have a kind, positive, honest heart and soul, should not be allowed to die.

  • RIP

  • god it hurts alot to see this guy go. But I hope and pray he went peacefully.... R.I.P

    We saw Waymon last year in Seattle at the Smooth Jazz Festival and he was simply awesome! The world has lost a truly special man.

    RIP, Waymon! You may be gone, but never forgotten.

  • agree! TWO NOTES!!

  • RIP MR TISDALE!

  • I am in shock about the loss of Wayman. What a special person. He will be missed here in Sacramento for his basketball, his community involvement and his music. I pray his family can takecomfort in what a blessing he was to so many people. His smile and music will live on.

  • Record named "Way Up" and Wayman is Way Up kickin it with the big man.

  • It's really cool to see the outpouring of love and affection for Wayman on these videos. It's proof that he touched a lot of people though his hoops career, his music, and the fight he put up against cancer. I can say that his story was special to me during a tough time in my life, and that his ability to stay "way up" even when handed life's biggest challenge really inspired me to persevere as well. R.I.P., man. You're going to be missed by a lot of people, even if your spirit carries on in us.

  • I am the same age as Wayman Tisdale and I don't consider myself old at all! It is truly a shame and a loss when young people pass on. In the interview he's giving here (and during his jam sessions), he seems to be in really good spirits. My deepest condolences to his family and hope Wayman rests in peace.

  • RIP Wayman Tisdale!

  • A short life, but the man seemed to be truly happy and appreciative of all of the joy he was given in life. He made the most of his talents. It's not how long you get to live, but how much you do with the time you're given. Wayman had a full life.

  • To Waymon "Full Grown" Tisdale...here, here

  • Why does good talented people like Wayman die young while creeps seem to live on & on? Of course his music & his contribution to life will live on, but damn, it's just not fair.

  • R.I.P

  • RIP my brotha'...

  • why are his strings upside down

  • when you are lefty you learn to play guitar upside down

  • Classy comment you jerk. You realize Wayman Tisdale died today. I hope his kids don't log onto youtube in an effort to see their father and have to read your comments about him being an uncivilized fool.

  • Only an "uncivilized fool" would call a man who just died an uncivilized fool -- on a page where everyone else is honoring his memory!!

  • geez I was trying to be helpful but didn't realize you were uncivilized. By the way, it is all RELATIVE. Why are the strings necessarily upside down..if you learn to play that way they are not upside down

  • WOW, Short journey, RIP Brother.

  • Rest in peace big fella.

    i only heard of you today but i have lots of respect for you!

  • RIP Brother Wayman...
