Daniel's Song

• Daniel considers himself lucky when he is asked to fill in for High Sierra's injured guitar player. But soon after he and singer Tally Dean fall in love, he learns that Tally is determined to make her mark in big-time music, no matter what, then feels betrayed when Brian tells him he and Tally once had a short-lived but intense romance.

Catch a Falling Star

• Daniel befriends Stormy Weathers, an alcoholic former country-music star whom he idolizes, and tries to help him get back on his feet and resume his career. But Stormy's presence creates a bitter conflict within the family, and several of the brothers feel that Daniel is wasting time on Stormy, whom they see as a loser, and that Stormy's furtive drinking is a bad influence on Guthrie.
