This Dead Blues Musician cache is in honor of Reverend Gary Davis, born April 30th, 1896. Gary was a key influence on the Piedmont blues style, and in a way, much of what is heard in the Piedmont tradition today. The story states that Gary was struck blind from the age of 3 weeks old, due to lye being splashed in his eyes. His fretting fingers were deformed, which led to the unusual ability to play with only the thumb and forefinger. He is most known for ragtime and spirituals performed with voice and guitar. Reverend Gary died May 5th, 1972 due to a heart attack suffered while on the way to a gig in New Jersey.
