Byron Berline plays all three parts of the song "Gold Rush"

[@nancyzuniga1951]

Rest in peace, sir, and thank you for the music.

[@chriscornell9409]

Always a good song, well composed song, it's tragic that Byron Berline passed away last year, I enjoyed all of his work and also with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys, You will be missed Byron Berline and Bill Monroe and all of the rest of the Great muscians that made bluegrass bluegrass.

[@ElderedAmbrose]

Wonderful! He was one of a kind.

[@brenjen]

What a sweet and kind and talented gentleman he was. RIP❤️

[@nathanchennault6104]

Are used to go in there all the time! I miss it. Are used to jam out with him occasionally. When I was a kid and I got my first electric guitar from him. First date I had with my high school sweetheart he sold me a $250 guitar. For two bucks and told me to go have fun. I still have it today. I even have all the same guitar pedals from him. Lol I miss him a lot.

My grandmother and I attended over 50 concerts of Byron. He was such a big part of our lives and 1000s of other lives. He was a master at his craft, a kind person that would open his door and literally sit and talk and jam with you for hours. He was an outright legend and will be sorely missed

[@tompurvis1261]

Such true words. Always had time for me.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Beautifully said. Truth.

[@robertlaing]

Could listen to you all day long.

[@TIM1948]

I got to play a tune with him once; he was very accessible and friendly.

[@davecurtis1468]

Rest in peace my friend.

[@sunnymtnboy]

back in 1980 our band backed byron in dearborn mich. great fiddler, man and sense of humor!

[@F_later]

So much respect for this -late- most great fiddler. I was blessed to join some live performances of this all time legend in American country fiddling.

[@cindi7228]

Truly the greatest that ever lived.

[@adirondackcomposer]

So sad that he's passed away. What a tremendous man and musician.

So sad to see this shop burn this week here in guthrie. Prayers for him and his family and the family of the business next door. ❤ #guthriestrong

[@MercenaryLocusGaming]

Colby Graves I was just thinking about this. So much history in that one building. I’m hoping that they can rebuild. It was always fun going there and seeing all of the instruments and always a joy to get to see Byron play.

[@als1023]

Sad news to hear, let's hope things can be rebuilt and the business can restart. This is a gem of a recording, thanks for posting !

[@bluesfiddle]

Very useful to hear Berline himself play the tune.

[@MR.HandyANDY]

Byron is such a pro. great t see him at a relaxed moment.

[@MrMusicguyma]

Byron is fantasticly smooth, clean and inventive within the tradition. I somehow just missed him in SoCal in 1996. I liked his column in Frets magazine He moved back to OK around 96.

[@dustndavis3005]

Good stuff for Harper

[@jajanesaddictions]

Step out the way, son and let the man play.

[@davidwhite6628]

I am sorry you life is filled with hate, bitterness and anger. I am praying for you now that God will touch your heart and soul and turn you life around before it's to late.

[@sonnyojeda6854]

you are awesome. how do you learn to play like that. Sophie 8 years old from Guthrie Ok

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

if only they had a guitar player for accompaniment

[@leeadams6809]

Bluegrass music sure is a lot sadder without the fiddle of Byron Berline

[@davestambaugh7282]

How come it is called a song as if it has words. I don't hear any singing in this so called song. I would call it a tune. Before we had recorded music no one would ever consider dancing when some one was singing. It would have been considered being very rude to the singer.

irrelivant dobro picker

[@maxroyle6750]

should NOT even be there-a decent guitar man is in order-give baldy the HOOK

[@TN-D18]

The guy on the dobro is the reason this even got videotaped. Cut him some slack.
