SLIGHTED JENNY. American, Reel (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune appears in George P. Knauff's Virginia Reels, volume I, published in Baltimore in 1839, but does not appear in later collections. Knauff researcher Chris Goertzen (2017) concludes the reel is of unknown provenance and significance.
