It has been a story book career and now Byron Berline has put all the memories and stories into an autobiography – A Fiddler’s Diary.
Berline will showcase his book with a book signing on Saturday, June 22 at the Fiddle Shop located at 121 E. Oklahoma Ave.
Forty years of journal entries document the L.A. recording industry from the Rolling Stones to the Byrds, and Alvin and the Chipmunks. They include hilarious stories of being one of the most sought after session players on the west coast, by three time National Fiddle Champion, Byron Berline, a Flying Burrito Brother who founded Country Gazette, The L.A. Fiddle Band and Sundance. His avoidance and survival of the drug-filled music industry, is amazing and heart lifting. His stories of the road are hilarious and the detailed journal entries are a researchers dream.
From earthquakes to scoring motion pictures and Charles Manson’s Family in his home, this autobiography is the account of an Oklahoma farm boy’s life and career — from entering the University of Oklahoma on a football scholarship and graduating with a javelin in one hand and a fiddle in the other. It continues through acting in movies and his time playing/recording with Bill Monroe, Mickey Mouse, Linda Ronstadt, Emmy Lou Harris, Vince Gill, Mark O’Connor, Doug Dillard, Rod Stewart, Ann Murray, Earl Scruggs, and the Eagles, to his spiraling success as a musician, husband and father.
Byron Berline, A Fiddler’s Diary, is a peek inside the music industry as only an “A” list insider could explicitly describe. For baby-boomers, it is a dance down memory lane, with all the music and recording artists we love. His story is abundantly entertaining with enough documentation to be considered a reference work.

Byron Burline puts on a great show, and seems like a truly well grounded human being, God bless him. I really enjoy his music and his band. Good folks! Can’t wait to read his book – you bet I will be in line at the fiddle shop for an autographed copy on Saturday!
Darn it! I spelled his last name wrong. Berline, so sorry 🙂
They’re ideal for folk who just wish to display a minimum content on the internet in little quantity of web space. Therefore, owners should never be put off by a low cost price in assuming that the hosting service is of poor quality; this is simply not the case with cloud hosting.
