Some of my records aren't vinyl, Princess Elizabeth. I have got pot records too & a record player that plays 33's, 45's & 78's as well. I also possess a gramophone.
one of my superhero is a Russian ice skater Plushenko with talent on loan from the gods:
and the magical superhero music from none other than the great Edwin Marton.
just listen to this music. it is beyond sensational:

I still possess cassettes, cassette players & a cassette recorder.
Those tracks and videos make me believe I could take on 300,000 Persians! 
I hear ya.
just listen to the music by Edwin Marton that I just posted.. he too can make you take on anybody.
simply unbelievable. and Plushenko was a superhero of the highest order.
That's so cool Lady Ann. You sound like a true connoisseur of music.
I'm afraid you're both going to laugh at me when I tell you the truth. I can't listen to classical music or opera as I've got very sensitive ears & it hurts them. It really echoes through them & gives me earache. I'm the same if I hear people scream on t.v. or heavy metal or hard rock. The loudest voice I can cope with is the wonderful Celine Dion's. The only instruments I can cope with hearing alone are bagpipes, accordion's & pan-pipes.
Thank you very much, Princess Elizabeth. I have a quite eclectic taste in music. I also like some antiques.

interesting.
I am not all that high on opera but I do like classical music.
I can't help having brilliant hearing, can I? I can hear a bus coming when it's still up the road & round the corner from me.
They were both mind blowing Clay. I hope he won Gold. His triple-axels were from another planet. Thank you for sharing those. I do love a man who can dance. And to do it on ice is extra special ❤️
