A version of the Primrose Lass?

This strikes me as being very similar to the version of the Primrose Lass that goes up to the high B. A quick cut & paste from Norbeck’s site to show you the one I mean:

PS I think this one sounds better as a single.

I find it similar to Graf Spey too. I agree it’d be better as a single.
