Green explores the history of "Whiskey Before Breakfast," a popular tune among bluegrass and fiddle players. Many believe the song is an old tune from the Appalachians or the British Isles. Other theories are that it came west with Lewis and Clark or started in Canada within the Metis culture and migrated south. Over the years, some people have come up with lyrics to fit the tune.
