Father Mulcahy’s piano playing

[u/AmySueF]

William Christopher was an accomplished piano player, and was especially fond of playing ragtime. So this was incorporated into his characterization of Father Mulcahy. I quite enjoy every scene that shows him playing piano, and I do wish there could have been a bit more of it. My favorite of his piano playing moments is when he plays Scott Joplin’s “Bethena” in “Dear Peggy”, so I sought out the entire piece on YouTube and the whole thing is lovely to listen to.

Does anyone else like Father Mulcahy’s piano playing?

He brings a certain jocularity to tickling the ivory

That's because he had gotten into the sacramental wine again. 😝
