Identify and connect:

A
95aa

B
95bb

C
95_c

Only Appu and Mayura attempted and since nobody else gave me a better answer, I’ll give them both full points (They both got the funda right and IDd most of them)
Answer:
Songs inspired by Gravestones

Quoting Appu “Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia, was a hangout for the Allman Brothers Band during their early years. Several songs share their namesake with some of the interred”
A – Martha Ellis inspired Little Martha
B – Elizabeth Reed inspired In Memory OF Elizabeth Reed

Similarly The Beatles members John Lennon and Paul McCartney used to spend time “sunbathing” in the graveyard of St. Peter’s Parish Church in Woolton, Liverpool; within earshot distance of the grave of members of Rigby Family (C) one of whom was Eleanor Rigby. Many years later McCartney stated that the strange coincidence between reality and lyrics could be a product of his subconscious, rather than being a meaningless fluke (There was even a grave of one McKenzie close to that of Eleanor Rigby))
