I was looking at a transcription of Percy Heath's walking line on "Bag's Groove" from the 1957 Miles Davis version. I noticed that many times he seems to imply a V chord before the change. For example, in bar 2, you can see him play C and E just before the F7, even though these notes point to a C or C7 more than a Bb7. Also at the end of bar 4, he plays an F# and A just before the Gm7 chord, implying a D (or D7).

He does something similar here, again before the Gm7:

He does things like that throughout the song. A neat harmonic twist, in my opinion.

In the late 80s/early 90s, I saw a video on Much Music for this song "I Gotta Go." It was a trio of guitar/bass/drums and it seems to me that it was on Zulu Records. The genre was kind of garage rock. I think the video was in downtown Toronto and the middle section had the guitar, bass, and drums trading off. Any ideas?

For example:

Georgia: Jerry Reed
Kentucky: Grandpa Jones
Mississippi: Charley Pride (I think)

INTERNATIONAL BONUS:

Canada: Hank Snow, Stompin' Tom Connors
England/UK: Albert Lee

With Blue Mitchell, Kenny Burrell, Bob Cranshaw, Cecil McBee, Hugh Lawson, and more!

Two examples come to mind:

Led Zeppelin - "Hot Dog"
Metallica - "Mama Said"

What can you think of?

I'm sure that most of us have seen the type: a genius detective whose brilliance is offset by (or perhaps caused by) their own collection of personal quirks and eccentricities. Examples include: Monk, High Potential, The Mentalist, Elsbeth, Ludwig, etc.

Two guitar legends trading licks, truly a marvel to behold.

The vanilla screen wasn't actually my fave, but I can only post one image so I figured I'd start at the beginning. You can see them all here:

I think I liked MoP the best, very serene. I remember complaints about the WotLK one because of the noisy dragon touching down every minute or so.

Seems like he could make a name for hisself!

I'm playing Blood Money and for some reason, it keeps crashing at the Death on the Mississippi level. I will get the initial cutscene, then weapon selection, and then just CTD as it loads the splash screen with the image of Skip Muldoon.

I am using the Mulderland Enhancement Pack to get the game to run in widescreen - and I figured that might be the issue, but it still loads A New Life, Curtains Down, etc. I tried using compatibility mode to run HitmanBloodMoney.exe in administrator mode, as well as in Windows XP SP2 mode. I still get the CTD.

I'm using Windows 11 with a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and AMD Ryzen 7 7700. It's installed on an SSD with over 1TB free space. I'm out of ideas at this point. I'm tempted to do a separate install on GOG without the enhancement pack, but that would mean playing through the whole game just to test one level, so it'd pretty much just be a last resort. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm going to be dogsitting at my sister's this week, which means I have to put up with my underpowered laptop. Unfortunately I don't have the specs with me right now but I know that the most intense thing it can play is Powerwash Simulator. Even the first Styx game was something of a slideshow when I tried it.

I've already played the older Thief and Splinter Cell games. Maybe Blood West would work? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Mind you, I don't hear this much anymore, but I did hear it at least a few times when I was in college. If you really really want to pine for a "real jazz" bass instrument, it should be the tuba, not the double bass.

I may be moving to the Dallas area in the near future and am wondering about the best way to proceed for some things:

1. I know the banks aren't as regulated as they are in Canada. Is it difficult to set up a checking or savings account without any prior US credit? Are there any recommended banks?
2. Related to 1, I will still need to pay off my CIBC line of credit. Is there a reliable way to transfer money from a US bank account to a Canadian bank account?
3. Any general recommendations for ISPs?
4. We figure that we will sell/donate most of our stuff and ship what we have left to Texas, then take a plane to get ourselves there. Has anyone else done this? I suspect that if we just rented a moving van, we would be stuck at the border for a long time
5. What kinds of things should I prioritize when I arrive? (Get a US drivers licence? Set up utilities? Stop spelling 'color' as 'colour'?)
