Pope Benedict, the Pianist

Pope Benedict, the Pianist May 22, 2014

A skilled pianist, he was unable to spend much time at the keyboard during the years of his papacy.  Now, perhaps, he returns to that great love.

Besides being able to speak ten languages and fly a helicopter, the pope emeritus is at home in the music room.
