After a 30-year hiatus from playing the pipe organ, Joseph P. Farrell recently returned to the instrument thanks to a virtual pipe organ provided by a crowdfunding effort. He expresses surprise at the persistence of muscle memory, even for pieces he had not previously mastered. This personal experience reinforces his belief that certain human abilities are innate and can be accessed even after long periods of dormancy or through traumatic "unlocking" events.
