That’s what another friend and client of mine from Louisiana tells me is the way of life in the southern state.  And Jeff Middleton, recognized as an expert in disaster recovery and almost as well known for his parties, might be Louisiana’s official culture representative to the SMB IT community.   

Here are a couple of pics from the party he threw on the second night of SMB Nation 2007 conference.  The band was amazing, as the guitarist jammed out whaling sax solos, keyboard runs, and even trombone and trumpet parts on an electronic instrument that looked like a guitar.
