@CharlesEsten opens the show for us this week (No, Really!!!).  We talk about meeting Charles by the tour bus at the Florida Strawberry Festival.  Both Charles and Clare Bowen sounded great at the concert!  We hope they schedule a show a little further south next time.  Perfect Vodka Amphitheater anyone?

I’ll Fly Away deals with the aftermath of Rayna’s death starting with her funeral,  We see small glimpses of everyone and how they are coping.  Tandy is there, Teddy is on bereavement leave and he is there.  Pam Tillis is there.  Deacon is hit the hardest.  We find out Rayna had not named a guardianship for the girls and Highway 65.  Possible court battle?  Juliette gets a job to sing a tribute to Rayna at the CMA Awards.  She is not quite well yet.  Zach and Will have a date sort of.  Big night at the CMAs. Will sings, Juliette does not.  Its Maddie with help from Daphne and Deacon that carry the tribute.  Rayna would be proud!!!  No court battle necessary. Tears galore!!!
