Medium tempo swinging big band backs Sinatra influenced vocals. Good hearted number about guy who loses the girl and tries to convince her to just “keep in touch”. Classic line “use me as a crutch/let’s keep in touch”. Fine jazz guitar solo at break. Horn section arrangement (trumpets, trombone, tenor sax, alto sax) punches with authority.

| Lyrics: | Let's keep in touch Let's keep in touch Keep in touch with me Drop me a line Any old time You know that I'll be free On a Sunday or a holiday I'll be available My datebook is never full Since you sent me on my way Let's keep in touch Let's keep in touch 'Cuz you might want back You never know How life can go It's never white or black And when you sprain your heart running 'round everynight Use me as your crutch Come on baby Let's keep in touch Around midnight I just know you might Need some comforting Go on and give me a ring You know I'll treat you right Let's keep in touch We'll do lunch dutch So we can reminisce 'Bout the good old days And the loving ways That you're going to miss And when you sprain your heart running 'round everynight I'll be your big old crutch Come on baby Let's keep in touch Come on baby Let's keep in touch |

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.
