Originally Posted By DLTheo Yeah, I wondered about that. It is pretty dark there, hard to see clearly.

Originally Posted By ecdc Yeah, my understanding is that he never had a banjo. I have no doubt that people really do remember him having a banjo. Newer studies show that after a short period of time, we actually recreate our memories each time we recall and remember them. It's not at all unlikely that someone would remember hearing the music, remember and old man sitting on the porch, and then create a memory of him holding a banjo. In their mind, it's as real as 2+2=4. Sorry for the detour, but I'm absolutely fascinated by the concept of memory. We now return you to our regularly scheduled posts about POTC.

They're now saying that reliving bad memories in therapy can actually make you feel worse instead of better. Who knows... but yes, the brain is fascinating!
