| Lyrics: | Not for all the tea in China Not for tickets to the game Not for lotto winning numbers Not for fortune and fame Not for cold beers in the summer sun Not for a sunset view Not for green grass on the other side Priority review I won't barter for you You know my love is true Maybe for world peace I'd consider it Maybe for God and man But not for all the tea in China And they've got a lot of tea in China Not for Johnny Hartman's baritone Not for Rhapsody in Blue Not for one for my baby Priority review I won't barter for you You know my love is true Maybe for Christmas Day for poor kids Maybe to cure some bad disease But not for all the tea in China Not for all the tea in China And they've got a lot of tea in China |

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.
