I am thankful that opera has remained constant through the years. Now I just need to find records and a record player. I suppose being at the complex I cannot play it as loudly as I could at my flat, but it will be soothing if I can play it at all.
I will definitely take your offer to heart, especially the listening. Though you might have to explain Google to me. I'm still getting used to this computer and all that it entails.
