Morse Code: (As a mind mover)

I am interested in re-entering the world of morse code and need some help to get started. Does anyone has a handle on the following:

(1) Where to purchase a tape of morse code for listening practice?
(2) Where to purchase a morse sending key with noise maker to practise sending?
(3) Who to contact for advice on the type of equipment that is needed for world coverage communication using morse?
(4) Does one need a " ham radio" licence to transmit and receive morse?
(5) Is there an organisation for morse code enthusiasts?

Many years ago I qualified for a first class radio oprators licence (part of ALTP) at 14 words per minute but these days I doubt if I could do 3 words a minute. I need something to keep the mind moving and perhaps the " music of morse" will do the trick. Any help most sincerely appreciated.
