     3. Crooner chased stone fruit through the pipes (8)
     4. Not seeing soap of blended French milk unite tea in corner fixing (5, 8, 5)
     5. Crazy damn trees! Some say they’re unreliable? (9)
     6. Dance with old South American swallowing first response to precise system. (5,3)
     7. Previously a farm machine tracks gigolo in disguise collecting fines (4, 9)
