Back in April of this year, Tell Us Something traveled to Butte, America to bring Tell Us Something to an enthusiastic group of listeners at The Covellite Theatre. Founder and Executive Director Marc Moss shared a story about the first time we held a Tell Us Something event in Butte, which was at The Covellite. The first time in Butte, back in 2019, Marc had to buy time because the evening’s first storyteller, Pat, was late. Listen as Marc shares that story, which is more than just a story of Tell Us Something in Butte, it’s an honoring of his friendship with Pat Williams.

The image features a close-up of a device with a time stamp of 12:52. The setting is indoors, and the device shows signs of rust, indicating that it may be old or abandoned. It is the interior of a vintage wall phone.


A man is standing in front of a microphone. The setting appears to be dark, suggesting an intimate atmosphere typical of a concert or gig. He is dressed in clothing suitable for an entertainment event, and his expression captures the focus of the moment.

Pat Williams shared this story at Tell Us Something in front of a live audience on February 18th, 2014, at the Top Hat Lounge in Missoula, MT. The theme was “What Are You Waiting For”.

Bing Crosby spends time in Butte, MT to fish and get away from the spotlight fame brought him in the 1940s and 50s. He is mis-recognized by a pedestrian on the street. Bing then shares a story with Pat about Blue the Bear in the Jungle Book (Phil Harris) and drinking whiskey.
