[Powderworks] Why nothing from Red Sails?

Yes, I would love to see 'Best'  make it into the sets some.  They did it
only once on the fall tour at the 3rd Chicago show & did 'Generals' once at
one of the Vancouver shows.  In addition to 'Best' as it's one of my
favorite tunes, I myself wouldn't mind hearing 'Jimmy Sharman' or 'Helps Me
Helps You'.

As far as 'Kosciusco' goes, I know it has been stated on this list that Rob
says they don't play it anymore because he can't get his voice up that high
anymore.
