	Reverend Gary Davis
		Davis said that he became blind when a doctor put drops in his eyes, though he had also claimed to be blind at birth in some interviews.

	Reverend Gary Davis Biographies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Davis moved to Durham in the mid-'20s, by which time he was a full-time street musician, and celebrated not only for the diversity of styles that his playing embraced, but also for his skills with the guitar, which were already virtually unmatched in the blues field.
		Davis became one of the most popular players on the folk revival and blues revival scenes, playing before large and enthusiastic audiences -- most of the songs that he performed were spirituals, but they weren't that far removed from the blues that he'd recorded in the 1930s, and his guitar technique was intact.
		Davis was in his late fifties by this time, and played mostly gospel and traditional folk songs, having given up the lascivious saloon ditties of his youth.

		Davis' skills as a player, on the jumbo Gibson acoustic models that he favored, were undiminished, and he was a startling figure to hear, picking and strumming complicated rhythms and counter-melodies.

	Reverend Gary Davis
		Reverend Gary Davis (or "Blind Gary Davis", as he used to be called on his earlier recordings) was born on Apr 30, 1896 in Laurens, SC; he died on May 5, 1972 in Hammonton, NJ.
		In 1940, Gary Davis made New York City his permanent residence and subsequently made numerous recordings for the Folkways, Stinson, Riverside, and Prestige-Bluesville labels, while also preaching the gospel and playing his songs in the streets of Harlem.
		Thus, Reverend Gary Davis' claim of authorship and his subsequent listing as the author of "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" on "The Last Waltz" is IMO unfounded and the song is most likely traditional.
