I think it's the oft melancholy nature of the sound produced by the cello and
bass that makes one associate these instruments with vampires. This is
especially true, IMO, in the case of our FK fiends, oops, friends. <g>

Posted with Don’s permission…
I have a set of extra tapes from a variety of Geraint Wyn Davies’ older
appearances ranging from the 1970s-2000s. I am only looking for costs of
tapes and shipping. I'm hoping to find these tapes a good home.
If interested, please contact me offlist for details: kris1228@earthlink.net
Thank you,
Kristin

I'd say it has to do with the timbre of the instrument. Lower instruments,
especially stringed instruments, have a very mellow, you could say 'solomn' sound
to them. No one could call a cello's tune bright and cheerful, especially when
playing a slow tune. The deeper, more mellow sound is easily associated with
the dark, quiet feel of night (assuming you're not at a nigiht club). It's also
easy to make a cello or bass sound mournful (as someone just said) which brings
to mind not the sharp, immediate expression of pain that can be drawn from a
violin, but the almost despairing, longing ache which is kind of the the whole
theme of Nick's existance.

How quickly melt away,
With all the love we shared once,
