Who was Piano Pat?
Piano Pat was a popular fixture at the Sip N Dip since 1963, a year after the Motor Inn opened. She was hired as a fill-in for a piano player who went on vacation but he never returned to town cementing Pat s position at the lounge permanently. Pat had been a performer at the lounge for more than five decades and even though she cut down on her appearances in the current years but when she did, it was always a full house. This is my living room. It s more like my home. I m just comfortable here, she once said about the lounge that turned her into a celebrity. A Rudyard native, Spoonheim began playing the piano since she was 12 years old. She was a single mom of three kids with a day job for 35 years as a medical transcriptionist at the Great Falls Clinic.
