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 discovered the book when I was in the 7th grade and read it with such distinct delight. Many hours were spent devouring this literary gem -- reading in the springtime beauty outside, or curled up at night with my reading lamp turned low and my window open and the cool breeze drifting in. When I discovered the score to the film adaptation of the novel, I fell in love with it and immediately found piano sheet music for the Main Theme. To this day, I still have retained muscle-memory for the majority of this piece. Hearing this music makes me want to go and read this masterpiece again -- I hope that it fills everyone else with the same desire :)
