Pat Sings To Mr. CIO Guy

In addition to being a history buff and architecture expert, Pat likes to sing - typically parody songs of his own creation. He's written many, but we actually broke down and got a license for Don McLean's classic "American Pie". Pat performed his version - a speculative retrospective titled "Mr. CIO Guy" - at the end of his TechEd Europe architecture track general session. You can watch a streaming version on Channel 9. Lyrics are posted on my MSDN Blog. Major thanks to Breakfast of Champions for getting it encoded so fast and to Jeff for getting it posted so fast. 

On a more serious note, we are recording all of Pat's TechEd sessions for the Architecture Strategy Series. Watch this space for details.
