Through ongoing consultation with experts on other instruments, Matthieu has developed support in TablEdit for harmonica, mountain dulcimer, diatonic button accordion, drums, violin, tin whistle, recorder, Xaphoon, autoharp, pedal steel guitar, piano, and banjo (even taking the fifth string into proper consideration.) Matthieu responded to their requests and input and as a result, TablEdit is not limited to guitar like other tablature programs. As more musicians started using TablEdit, Matthieu got feedback from those users, many of which played other instruments besides guitar. The original TablEdit, released in 1997, was written by Matthieu Leschemelle to aid himself in learning to play guitar music as arranged by Marcel Dadi. TablEdit Tablature Editor is a computer program that allow musicians to create, edit, print and listening to tablature and sheet music (standard notation) for guitar and other fretted, stringed instruments, including mandolin and bass guitar. Hey! I think I’ve just come up with some new material to tab out in the coming months.Īnyway, have a listen to “Whiskey Before Breakfast” on the mandolin at 150 bpm.Platform = Windows, Macintosh, and Windows Mobile (PocketPC) However, I do know that DeJarlis wrote a good number of great fiddle tunes in his lifetime, like “The Buckskin Reel”, “Sitting Bull”, “Caribou Reel”, “Louis Riel”… and a good number of waltzes and jigs. But, whether he originally penned it or not, we may never know. I do know that he recorded the tune on more than one album, and I understand he had a copyright on the arrangement (Ok, I read that on the internet). In fact, many people have attributed it to the late, great Canadian Metis fiddler Andy DeJarlis. I always thought “Whiskey Before Breakfast” was a traditional Irish tune. Later on, I did figure out a respectable version on banjo, and more recently adapted it to mandolin. I did come away with something, but it didn’t sound anything like Blake’s arrangement! I was more a finger-picker than a flatpicker. It was actually the second tune in a two-tune set. The album title was “Whiskey Before Breakfast”, but it didn’t really seem like the featured song on the record. At the time, both those records were impossible to find back home. I had been visiting my sisters in Boulder, Colorado and purchased the album in a little record store downtown, along with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s “Will the Circle be Unbroken”. I remember trying to learn it on the guitar, off a Norman Blake album. The barrel of the Type 99 Arisaka was unique at its time of fabrication, seeing it was the only chrome-lined barrel in existence then.

It has certainly become a bluegrass standard. Later versions of the Arisaka Type 99 included the Type 99 Parachutists Rifle of 1940, the Type 99 Sniper Rifle, the Type 99 Short Rifle, and the Type 99 Long Rifle.
So, in reality, the Enfield and Arisaka were free I have already posted the pics up at Gunboards. I ended up trading the 870 for a 10/22, the Arisaka, and an Enfield No. My plan was to sell my 870 Express, and buy a 10/22. I had 2 or 3 albums by different artists with various arrangements of the tune. I have no plans on getting rid of the rifle. Years ago it seemed like everybody was recording it. Whiskey Before Breakfast is a great old fiddle tune.
