Just found this thread. Another favorite episode relating to Mr. Stiers' character and music was when a USO troupe spent an extended time at the 4077th due to a heavy enemy threat nearby. A lady from the troupe was playing the accordion in the Officer's Club and "Charles" was chiding her because of what he perceived as such a lowbrow instrument. She immediately went over to the piano and started playing a beautiful classical piece as his jaw dropped. He asks her why she 'wastes her time' playing the accordion and she replies, "a girl has to eat".
