By Trish Butte
A girl singer’s coming-of-age story, Trish’s origins were in the dives and roadhouses of small Southern towns during the national push for racial integration where, lucky to escape with her vocal chords intact, she honed her skill at cutthroat repartee. Back at Cape Canaveral, she became the Apollo astronauts’ favorite before moving on to the West Coast—and ultimately Las Vegas’s fabled Riviera. Self-taught and savvy, Trish’s career covered some of the most exciting years of the century, and while she always referred to herself as “a saloon singer,” her saucy spirit, kindness, and humor made her a plucky survivor who demonstrated that “almost a life” was more than enough.
