1st voice: how, he still reads newspapers?

Third voice (presumably female): he thinks it it the way to join the world.
1st voice, thoughtfully: Yeah ... How much he still must go to ...

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).
EDIT final version now posted and the page turning is gone but i left this intro as is in case anyone is reading the comments. Does anyone read the comments? or the intro?
i turn a page somewhere in the middle of all this - you'd think i would…
it had got a hold of me by 15 sec... oooh yeh the wind did blow......just like the rest....a fantastic album.... if i was king ..... i would give you a tital...arise Sir Gumbo.....master of guitar and vocal
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand

In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.

This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine.
This is Donna's explanation:

I agree with Norm - there is a lot coming down.
