December Advent Music Meme #5 is Refractions by Bobbie Gentry

 
  #5 is a ghost/horror/fairytale story and had a major effect on me, because it led, when Blake's 7 finale came around, to me writing stories; any stories to cope with it. 

  The vinyl album I owned; greatest hits, was lost amongst others taken before I moved up to Scotland. At some point, and I seem to recall posting about it, it turned up on You Tube, and the memory of the song was so imprinted in my brain that every note was as I recalled it.

December Advent Music Meme #6 is Freeman Town by Haight-Ashbury

 
  Another one discovered because I listen to very few of the mainstream radio stations. I think it may well have been another discovered via the now retired Desmond Carrington, but I couldn't swear to that. 

  Wherever I first heard it, I do know I went looking for a video before the programme had finished; a programme which I listened to more than once in a row; because of this song. 

  It's a very modern version of what people imagine the sixties sounded like, which of course means it's nothing like sixties music at all.

December Advent Music Meme #7 is Lucretia, My Reflection by Sisters of Mercy

 
  As anyone who follows my fics will know I have written an awful lot of stories about Dawn and her friend; only appearing in one act of one episode; The Body. 

  I have created an entire backstory; strill in progress for her, but this is the song that inspired the very first serious story; Lisa, My Reflection, set on the morning of Dawn's first day back in school after her Mom's death. This is the one they are headbanging to as they enter their first class of the day.
