GREAT FALLS, Mont. (NMB) – Patricia Spoonheim, better known to Montanans as the iconic “Piano Pat” at the Sip ‘N Dip Lounge in Great Falls, died on Tuesday night.
Spoonheim had played the keyboard at the famous Great Falls bar since 1963. Her first gig at the bar was as a fill-in musician, but she ended up taking over the job on a permanent basis.
Tributes to Spoonheim poured in from across the Treasure State on Wednesday night after the bar announced the news on their Facebook page.
