It can be found in North American tradition as "Bennett's Favorite" and "The Great Eastern," in Irish tradition as "John Brennan's Reel" and especially "The Silver Spire," and in Québecois tradition as one of the "La Grondeuse" tunes.
Local fiddlers in central Missouri have mentioned this tune was propagated by Daniel Boone Jones, a widely remembered fiddler from Boone County, who represented Missouri in one of Henry Ford's national contests in the late 1920's (Christeson).  


It has a long recording history, beginning with the duet of Paddy Killoran and Paddy Sweeney in the 1930's and continuing today with versions by Sharon Shannon, Tommy Peoples, John and Phil Cunningham, Natalie MacMaster and the groups Wild Asparagus and La Bottine Souriante, to name a few.  
The tune was so closely associated with Jones, who was a highly influential regional fiddler in the early 20th century, that his name was an alternate title for his contest-winning version.  


In Québec the title "[[Grondeuse (1) (La)]]"-'the grumbling woman'-is the title of many tunes, each fiddler seeming to have his or her own versions based on a variety of melodies in the key of 'D'.

What they have in common is that the 'G' string is tuned up to 'A' (ADae, or 'raised bass' tuning), producing ringing overtones and lending itself to dense droned bowing on the low parts.  
Guthrie Meade (2002) mentions the tune in connection with Ozarks fiddlers Cyril Stinnet, Vesta Johnson and Buck Williams, and notes similarities with ''Deer Walk'' and one of the ''Hell Among the Yearlings'' tunes.  


"La Grondeuse" is universally played in the Québec fiddle tradition and it is often employed as a vehicle for step-dancing. One "La Grondeuse" strain is the "Great Eastern"/"Silver Spire" melody and has made the contra dance rounds for many years, beginning with New Hampshire fiddler and caller Dudley Laufman.
[[Damon's Winder]] is a nearly identical melody, save for the 'C' natural notes played in the third and fourth measures instead of a 'C' sharp. The only 78 RPM era recording of the tune was under the title [[Hell Up Flat Rock]], by Jess Hillard in 1933.

Marmaduke's Hornpipe

The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954.

The melody has been a popular for fiddle contests in the Mid-West, although less heard today. Marmaduke's Hornpipe is one of 100 essential Missouri tunes listed by Missouri fiddler Charlie Walden.

Local fiddlers in central Missouri have mentioned this tune was propagated by Daniel Boone Jones, a widely remembered fiddler from Boone County, who represented Missouri in one of Henry Ford's national contests in the late 1920's (Christeson).

The tune was so closely associated with Jones, who was a highly influential regional fiddler in the early 20th century, that his name was an alternate title for his contest-winning version.

Cricket on the Hearth, Grand Hornpipe (1) and Rocky Mountain Goat are melodies thought to be reminiscent of Marmaduke's and perhaps cognate. According to Gordon McCann (2008), a number of older Missouri fiddlers call the tune Cricket on the Hearth.

Guthrie Meade (2002) mentions the tune in connection with Ozarks fiddlers Cyril Stinnet, Vesta Johnson and Buck Williams, and notes similarities with Deer Walk and one of the Hell Among the Yearlings tunes.

Damon's Winder is a nearly identical melody, save for the 'C' natural notes played in the third and fourth measures instead of a 'C' sharp. The only 78 RPM era recording of the tune was under the title Hell Up Flat Rock, by Jess Hillard in 1933.
