Some Musical Waites in history:

It is interesting to note that the name Waite, which in ancient times was spelled Wayghte or Wayte, is derived from the old German "wahten" which means to keep watch; more commonly used in the sense of 'guard' or 'watchman' in all Teutonic languages :the German Wacht, Dutch Vaght, Swedish Vakt, and English Watch. When used as a verb its meaning was 'to stay in expectation of'; as a noun it denoted a minstrel watchman.

The original Waytes were found in England immediately after the Norman Conquest (1073 A.D.), but only among the retainers of the king, princes and great barons; their rank gradually declined with that of other orders of minstrels until now the name is applied only to those itinerant musicians who, in most of the large towns in England, go around the principal streets at night for some time before Christmas, play and sing two or three tunes, call the hour, and then remove to a suitable distance and repeat the performance.

The pipe used by the Waits was termed a 'Shawm' (sometimes translated 'wayte-pipe'). It was an ancestor of the modern oboe. ...

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Waits cultivated their musical skills to the point that a variety of instruments were coming into use and paid bands were beginning to appear.

...It is worth noting that the famous composer Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) was the son of one of the Waits of Cambridge. ...Two of his brothers, Edmund and Ellis were also musicians of note. The father of composer John Banister was a Wait of St. Giles of the Fields; and another composer, John Ravenscroft, was a Wait of the Tower Hamlets.

...the waits are best remembered today as carolers who serenaded the public at Christmas time, though this was but a small part of their vocational activity. They were licensed to receive alms for their music; and there is even a record of a legal suit against unlicensed singers who were undercutting the business of some of the waits.

...to this day, one familiar Christmas hymn, 'In Bethlehem, 'Neath Starlit Skies, by Grace Stutsman, is sung to the tune, 'The Waits' Carol'." (DMW)

My music comes in many forms and its use depends on my mood - or it sets my mood.

The music I use is simple: Popular, Jazz, Older Bands (which I learned from my Dad) and for Classical, Symphony, String Quartets, Vocals, Cantatas, Opera (which I learned from my mother) and then there is Country (which I learned in Texas).

Perfection is listening to a good "Absolute Sound" system with a great recording because it becomes one of the wonders of this civilized world. The beauty of it lies in its simplicity today. We reproduce sound everywhere today. Even while shopping and in an elevator, we are hit with this as background mood setting noise.
