“Brooks Robinson (Grandpa's Dream #5)”, The Drovers Old Time Medicine Show

This week we have a special guest contributor to SOTD. My esteemed baseball loving' pal Jeff Twiss, who has assembled a weeks worth of tunes in honor of  one of the great passtimes: Baseball. The World Series is staring in just a few days. So hang on to your hats.

This way: Brooks Robinson (Grandpa's Dream #5)

The Drovers Old Time Medicine Show was officially formed in 1987 and has been playing hard-charging hillbilly music with a good dose of country humor ever since. The band started out as a kind of back porch honky-tonk band, but over the years with the lineup and instrumentation shifting here and there, has become a bare knuckles bluegrass band with a good dose of country humor.  The Drovers are based in Praters Creek, South Carolina.

“Brooks Robinson (Grandpa's Dream #5)” is the Drovers tribute to the greatest third baseman of all time.  It is on ‘Dreamland’, their self-released second album and CD from 2007.  The song is archived in Cooperstown, and you can see the autographed picture Brooks sent the Drovers as a surprise.
