 JENNY PUT THE KETTLE ON [2]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Missouri. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. This version, collected from a Missouri fiddler, is not related to another Missouri tune by the same title ("Jenny Put the Kettle On (1)), but is a relatively close version of an English Country Dance tune called "Flintlock." Bayard (1981) notes that melodic material in the tune derived from the Scottish "Marquis of Hastings' Strathspey," "Loudon's Bonnie Woods and Braes," and "Lord Moira's Welcome."   Source for notated version: James B. Marr (elderly fiddler from Missouri, 1949) [Bayard].  Printed sources: Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle), 1981; Appendix No. 14, p. 578.  Recorded sources:
