About Stacy Adams
Stacy Adams footwear has been around for nearly 125 years. While the company
makes a broad range of footwear, what makes Stacy Adams unique is our
Fairstitch collection: distinctive original footwear styles that have been in
the line for the better part of a century.
"Fairstitch" refers to the white stitching along the welt of the sole that
has been a trademark of Stacy Adams since the beginning. Stacy Adams footwear
has a cult following, not only in swing, but in the film industry as our
shoes have been used for numerous period piece films, such as Titanic, Kansas
City and Hoods.
The key swing shoe from Stacy Adams is the Dayton spectator, which has been
around since the 1930's. This shoe has been worn by swing, jazz, and blues
musicians for decades and today is a key part of the wardrobe of such bands as
"The Cherry Poppin' Daddies," "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy," and "Royal Crown Revue."

About Any Swing Goes
Brainchild of Douglas LeClair, Any Swing Goes is designed in an online
magazine format and focuses on the revival swing, big band, jump blues and
rockabilly music. Launched in August of 1997, it provides the latest in swing
music news, swing dancing information, an online chat lounge and a
comprehensive link directory of over three hundred swing-oriented links to
other sites on the Internet.
In less than a year, Any Swing Goes has skyrocketed to nearly 9,000 visitors
daily, and has become the premier source for swing on the Internet. It has
been critically acclaimed in the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo! Internet Life,
and on CNNfn Digital Jam.
The web site’s name is a play off of a Cole Porter song titled "Anything Goes"
and embodies the site’s theory that any type of swing music "goes".
In addition to working on the web site, LeClair regularly writes for M2,
MTV’s twenty-four hour music and news station, MTV-Online, swing dance
instructs, and deejays professionally in San Diego. The content of the site
is changed regularly.
