I don't smell most the time, just not at ska shows.
I'm thinking that didn't come out quite right?
BTW, one of the funniest olfactory memories I have is from a NY Ska-Jazz Ensemble show at SUNY Binghamton like a zillion eons ago. I actually wore a suit (hard to believe, I'm sure) and so did my compatriots. NYSJE did 2 long sets and during the first one, while we're dancing up a storm of sweat, we all start smelling this monsterous body odor and every one of us was highly concerned that WE individually were the source of it. I mean, this was that nasty locker room smell that makes little girls cry.
Then NYSJE took a break between sets and we discover the REAL source of the smell was this kid at the show that ran up to me all excited (this is one of those times where being "that SkaDanny guy" always sucks) and I was like, "WHOA DUDE, you need to back up!". Intellectually, I just had to know how this kid could smell
THAT bad and it turns out that he'd wear
the same exact Toasters shirt to *every* show and NEVER wash it. And he was quite proud of this.
Moral of this fable: Dance hard and get drenched -- but wash your clothes afterwards!
