"What made you stick to your guns?" I asked Ralph. "What kept you and Carter from saying, 'Well, we're not all that old. It's 1955, we're just pushing 30, if
we can't beat 'em, let's join 'em--plug in those guitars and banjo, add a drummer, and go "country" or maybe even rock and roll?' Did you or Carter ever think about it?"
Ralph told me this was one discussion that never came up. "We wouldn't have been the Stanley Brothers. Hit or miss, we wanted to keep our style of music and be
natural."
