Christa Wessel
Weekdays at 5:00, you’ll find me in my happy place on the radio: sharing your Five O’Clock Favorite. This special program is an opportunity for me to celebrate listeners’ memories and favorite pieces of classical music. Our stories connect us to each other, and this daily segment allows us to hear what’s in the hearts of our friends and neighbors. I hope you’ll submit your suggestion for a future Five O’Clock Favorite!

Suggestions are easiest to honor if they’re 20 minutes or less.
I’m far from a classical connoisseur despite 5 years of playing violin (terribly) in my youth. That said, as a “senior citizen” I very much appreciate All Classical as the soundtrack to my daily life. I heard this piece one day and was inspired to request it as a Five O’Clock Favorite because it has the bright, bouncy, playful harmonic energy that just “hits the spot” sometimes. I’d be less than completely honest if I didn’t also say that the low notes scattered in the piece didn’t give my inner 10-year-old a giggle for their similarity to a little musical, shall we say, flatulence. Hope they might bring a smile to you, too. Thanks again for being there!
