Music to our ears!

I counter your American anthem with a British one.

Yes - (though played on a French car) - it's one machine "playing", not a cut together sound track.

Nice! But then, machinery has always been music to my ears.

I love to watch the take-off and landing when in an airplane. Unfortunately, I haven't seen one in decades. Not that I haven't flown, but as soon as those engines crank up, it puts me to sleep like a lullaby!
