Matt Seattle: Green Brackin, Small Drink Won’t Comfort Me
William Dixon: Cock on the Midden
James Aird: The Feathers, Dribbles of Brandy, Grace’s Farewell

Thanks to Bob Cameron for Cluing me into the High Notes, and Abe Zettek for directing me to Sutherland’s fingering chart to achieve them.
On Ross's Music Page you can look through Sutherland's Manuscript, and Read Ross's write up about Sutherlands High notes, but I couldn't find the actual fingering chart, if/when I hear back from Ross I'll update the show notes here:
