You&rsquo;ll also reflexively remember his group, The Academy of Ancient Music. The presenter (heavens, not a mere disc jockey!) would announce the name of the piece, followed by &lsquo;The Academy of Ancient Music led by Sir Christopher Hogwood&rsquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Culture-vultures will also know a few other Pavlovian responses to names like &lsquo;Sir Neville Marriner conducting The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields&rsquo;, &lsquo;Roy Goodman &#038; the Hanover Band&rsquo;, &lsquo;Otto Klemperer &#038; the New Philarmonia Orchestra&rsquo; etc.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why we always prefer TuneIn Radio to Pandora or Spotify or Apple Radio. We want the human connection of a presenter introducing the selections and then wrapping them up. We crave the dulcet tones of a sweet-voiced woman or stuffy baritone letting us know we are not alone, not in a classical-music vacuum. Good stations include world-famous WQXR-FM in New York, KUSC-FM in La-La Land (Jim Svejda is an absolute authority, but not at all a snob or a fetishist) and All Classical Portland. You can&rsquo;t get that from a robot music server.<\/p>\n<p>Good thing about TuneIn Radio is that there&rsquo;s no interference or other unwanted hiss. If you&rsquo;ve ever listened to orchestral music on the radio in the car, you know that there&rsquo;s a lot of sifting, sandy static during the quieter passages, low signal-to-noise ratio. Not a problem with the TuneIn Radio.<\/p>\n<p>TuneIn Radio > Pandora, Spotify, Apple Radio, etc. <\/p>\n<p>R.I.P., Sir Christopher Hogwood.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynthiapublishing.com\/pick.html\">Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Belmont<\/strong> 2, 4, 6<br \/>\n<strong>Gulf<\/strong> 4, <em>7<\/em>, <em>9<\/em>, 10<br \/>\n<strong>Santa Anita<\/strong> 4, <em>5<\/em>, <em>7<\/em>, <em>9<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pay-side<\/strong>: Today&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arlington<\/strong> 8<br \/>\n<strong>Churchill<\/strong> 4, 5, 6, <em>7<\/em>, <em>8<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Laurel<\/strong> <em>4<\/em>, 6, <em>7<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Meadowlands<\/strong> 4, 6<br \/>\n<strong>Retama<\/strong> <em>2<\/em>, 4, <em>5<\/em>, 6, <em>8<\/em>, 9<br \/>\n<strong>Remington<\/strong> 1, 3, <em>4<\/em>, <em>5<\/em>, 6, <em>8<\/em>, <em>9<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Woodbine<\/strong> <em>1<\/em>, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today&rsquo;s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: One today, <strong>Santa Anita 9<\/strong>, and it&rsquo;s on the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynthiapublishing.com\/pick.html\">free<\/a><\/strong> page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yesterday&rsquo;s Activity<\/strong>: Baseball pairings set.
