Seattle Times:
From the time she was a pint-size dancer on state-fair stages, to her years on the road as a singer-pianist, to her stint entertaining American servicemen in Vietnam, Seattle’s Ruby Bishop has been a trouper. Bishop recently celebrated her 89th birthday at the Capitol Hill piano bistro and she’s clearly beloved by the clientele there. Between sets, she circulates and chats, catching up with people’s news, and taking requests. The lady knows how to make an entrance, too — in the ankle-length gold-hued raincoat she dons on stormy winter nights. Then, there’s the splendid sequined wardrobe she wears to perform.
