| Lyrics: | Tried to round the corner at forty Hit the brakes a little too late No time to look back now though The ambulance will have to wait That's my story And I'm sticking to it That's the plan anyway An incident of such mild proportions Leaves a mark that's more than skin deep Vanity can be so expensive Apathy comes awfully cheap That's my story And I'm sticking to it That's the plan anyway That's the plan anyway You get one chance to make it The good old-fashioned way But it's as hard as a brick wall I'm not afraid to go down singing A sad old lonely song I'm just a bard, afterall You get one chance to make it The good old-fashioned way But it's as hard as a brick wall I'm not afraid to go down singing A sad old lonely song I'm just a bard, afterall You're not entitled to angst when you're forty I tell myself it's been a good run Prop my feet at the end of the day Fold my arms and defiantly say That's my story And I'm sticking to it That's the plan anyway That's the plan anyway |

Buddy Moncrief
Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
