Clever lyrics paint the bar scene with first person conversational tone between singer and bartender. Guitar solo stings the blues but has jazzy overtones, Male Vocals, Jazz Music, Swing Ensembles.

| Lyrics: | Hey man, is that what you call a double? Hey man, don't want no trouble Hey man, I could sure use a friend Hey man, you got some peanuts Oh man, I'm such a damn klutz Say man, when does happy hour end I'll slam one down like a basketball Two little words kinda say it all Hey man Hey man Hey man Hey man, you see that girl down there? Yeah man, I know; it's not polite to stare Hey man, why don't you send her a drink on me Hey man, don't cut me off yet Hey man, my whistle ain't wet Hey man, I though every fifth one was free I'll have another if that's okay Less is more so here's what I got to say Hey man Hey man Hey man Hey man, I best be leaving Thanks man, for the evening Yeah man, you get what you pay for Okay man, maybe just one more Two man, then I'm out the door Three man; might as well make it four I best just leave now and walk away Less is more so here's what I got to say Hey man Hey man Hey man |

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.
