| Recently, while listening to Alexa play recordings by Ray Pennington and Buddy Emmons, a song came up in the mix for which I cannot find the title. I thought the title would be a line which occurred several times in the song, i.e., "They wouldn't have it any other way." However, tried using that and all my searches were unsuccessful. This is probably a long shot but just wondering if anyone can help identify the correct title? |

You were almost there Lefty. Any Other Way is the title.
Off the It's All in the Swing recording. Great series commonly know as the Swing Series with Ray and Buddy on Step One Records.
I guess these recordings are not widely known in the general populace so that searches don't turn up much.
I recognized it as I just happen to have that recording and probably all of the Swing series along with 40s through the 80s etc.
Much treasured even though they're all on cassette. I plan to convert them over to CD someday. |

Thanks so much for your quick response, Jerry! Altho' I have all the Swing Shift CD's, I overlooked it. 
You mentioned plans to convert your cassette tapes to CD's. I had a bunch of cassettes that contained years of steel guitar licks that I wanted to move to my computer. I found a cassette/recorder available with a USB port and used it to transfer them to my computer hard drive.
Thanks again Jerry! |

| The brand name is NAXA and the cost was around $60. The unit is exactly like the black cassette recorders we all used back in the day except they've added a USB port to transfer the data. Hope this is helpful. |

A Swing Shift story:
Buddy invited me to a Swing Shift overdub session at a studio in Nashville. I think it was for the record before, "Going Out Swinging".
Kevin McManus was the engineer
I was a fly on the wall in the control room with Ray P., and the horn section was ther.too.
Buddy liked his jazz, and to see him and Ray work with a horn section was ...I have not a word to describe that.
