SYLVIA C. WAYMAN, (aka Musiklaydee), is a local(PIANIST/WRITER) musician who became famous in 1986, when she wrote and co-produced a musical tribute to the CHALLENGER SHUTTLE TRAGEDY-entitled;"THE DAY AMERICA CRIED" which gained notoriety when it went around the world making history in only 3 days. The song was co-produced by local musician (PIANIST/ORGANIST) Mr. Harold L. Sutton,and was produced at local "Harbor Light Recording Studios" with recording Engineer,Mr.George Eimer. Ms Wayman is a graduate of the Roosevelt High School in the city of Washington D.C., where she was born in beautiful Foggy Bottom on October 8,1943. Ms Sylvia Wayman's tribute" THE DAY AMERICA CRIED" failed to receive proper distribution- as it was written during one of the worst winters in United States' history. The executive producer Record company, SOUND OF GOSPEL, of CHICAGO IL. attempted to distribute the hit item by hand, failing to reach more than a few cities by car because of the hindering weather; however, the song was featured on CNN and an interview was done locally at Ms Wayman's home with footage of the actual studio work.It is reported by Ms Wayman that phone calls came from around the world including Switzerland. see:P.G.local newspaper for story on Ms Wayman & her Tribute song -1986.
