"Nothing against the North, but I've never had any Yankees in my band and I don't plan to. I've had some fill in on a show when I was short a man and they done fine, but I've never hired any permanent. I like to play shows in Boston and New York and a lot of places up North, where we have some of our best fans, but you couldn't find a Clinch Mountain Boy up there if you spent the rest of your life looking."
- Dr. Ralph Stanley, from Man of Constant Sorrow, My Life and Times
