I have heard that scent has a profound impact on things such as who you fall in love with, who your friends are, who you trust/distrust. We are mammals, after all, a class of creatures that communicate largely by scent. Dogs sniff each other, skunks have evolved scent glands that are a weapon! I wonder if scent has an impact on our musical experiences, as well? Do the great concert halls have a particular odor that imparts special qualities to the experiences of the listner, or the player? Does the smell of one guitar make it better, more right, than the other? Is there, then, a difference from playing a gig in Mexican restaurant, and a Spanish one? (I, for one, have had much better experiences in Spanish restaurants, although I much, mcuh prefer Mexican food) Perhaps someday this scent thing will be isolated and synthesized and will come out of our car air conditioners when listening to special CDs.

This is an interesting thread, I learnt a piece in November, and I had flue while I learnt it, now every time I play the piece, mild flue like symptoms return, and it makes me feel ill, also I was learning a new Buleria at Christmas, and while learning a particular falseta, I was drinking some Whisky, which I never usually drink, now every time I play that falseta I can taste Whisky in my mouth, Its bizarre, also stuff I learnt years ago, when I play it, I think of people and places that were around when I learnt the pieces, although I would not think of those things normally.
