I first heard about Byron Berline when he played the fiddle on “Country Honk” by the Rolling Stones.
Byron Berline, the acclaimed bluegrass fiddle player who expanded the vocabulary of his instrument while also establishing it as an integral voice in country-rock on recordings by Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and others, has died at 77. https://t.co/k4biiVgntO

We lost a great friend with the passing of Byron Berline. Casting pride on Oklahoma anywhere & anytime he performed, Byron’s storied career is legendary. Yet he was as accessible & kind as a person could be. Already missed, Byron left this world a better place than he entered. pic.twitter.com/6APi6cecX8

We’re in Guthrie this afternoon and you can see there are already a few flower bouquets in front of Byron Berline’s Fiddle Shop. Berline passed away at the age of 77. @koconews pic.twitter.com/SwHDhYDA5P
