People saying he can’t be a vampire because he was in the sun.. the thing is that lore didn’t come around until centuries after the “vampire” or general sanguinarian humanoid legends and folk lore were beginning to appear in society... originally it was believed that vampires can go into the sun but because they are night hunters they stayed indoors during the day for more of a resting up for the hunt sort of reason... although some older legends to say that vampiristic beings had a sensitivity to the sun similar to an allergy causing a rash or burns very quickly they still would not die, and with modern inventions such as sunscreen a “vampire” would probably be able to stay in the sun for long periods with minimal effect

[@TiggerIsMyCat]

Yeah. The whole 'vampires burning to dust in sunlight' thing was invented by the filmmakers for Nosferatu, both to add to the moralism, and to try and skirt the copyright infringement they knew they were doing (they were adapting Dracula without having obtained the rights, so they did a few things to change the story to try and get around that but Stoker's widow still sued and they lost big time. But the point is that Dracula was merely weakened by the sun, not killed)

it's absolutely mind-blowing how good that song sounds on those old instruments. just shows that good music transcends time... and even the instruments its played on.

[@mariano3760]

@@alcori770 Riporto quanto scritto dal liutaio Riccardo Mordeglia sul suo sito: "Chitarre fratelli Vinaccia fu Pasquale, anno 1929. La famiglia Vinaccia inventò il mandolino napoletano e le corde di metallo per le chitarre." Confesso che non sapevo fosse così recente l'introduzione delle corde di metallo, ma questa informazione è plausibile visto che la lavorazione dell'acciaio è tecnologia alquanto recente.
