She may not have set out to prove it with this set, but that's exactly what she did, with songs from Patty Griffith, Bob Dylan, Shel Silverstein, Tom Waits, and the Decemberists, performed in a style that's almost a century old. The Wimberley native has shown tremendous growth in confidence since the release of last year's debut, Song Up in Her Head (Sugar Hill).

Rubbing shoulders and learning from some of the sharpest Realtors and techies around was not only fun but very beneficial. There were some familiar faces, including Marlow Harris, a top producing Realtor and one of Seattle's top bloggers, Bob Stewart of Active Rain fame, Glenn Sanford, a long time player in real estate and technology and founder of eXp Realty, and many others. But here's what I reflected on and find so fascinating.  

Voters at their annual town meeting Saturday agreed to pay selectmen $6,000 more than last year. Resident Bob Bender asked that the amount for selectmen be reduced to what they were paid last year, $11,000.
