| Lyrics: | Blue sky is what I see A skylark serenading my baby and me The local weatherman tends to agree You're nice as a day can be The cold snapped has snapped And now we're free Father Time is squeezing on Mother Nature's knee I wouldn't change one thing; not one degree 'Cuz you're as nice as a day can be Somebody tell Punxsutawney Phil to come check it out The blooming flowers know what I'm talking about You're putting a smile on everybody's face Spreading your love all over the place If I've seen a finer day I can't remember when It might turn cold tomorrow But until then I'm gonna sit right here Beneath the old oak tree 'Cuz you're nice as a day can be Somebody tell Punxsutawney Phil to come check it out The blooming flowers know what I'm talking about You're putting a smile on everybody's face Spreading your love all over the place If I've seen a finer day I can't remember when It might turn cold tomorrow But until then I'm gonna sit right here Beneath the old oak tree 'Cuz you're nice as a day can be |

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.
