crosscut saw

always amazed at how many songs by old blues guys get misattributed to contemporary performers...listening to a mid-day thing on XM that is featuring (so far) at least 12 different versions of the song 'Crosscut Saw'...clapton, albert king, stevie ray, and a bunch of folks i don't recognize. made me curious about who wrote it so i got on 'the google' - to quote our soon to be ex-prez (yippee!) - and found out that it was written by one r.g. ford. ten more minutes of googlin' - to say it like the thankfully unelected VP moron - revealed absolutely nothing about the guy/gal. nothing. and i'm pretty good at this...so if anybody knows, leave me a comment about this mysterious writer of a blues classic!
