Hello, loyal gunshipians. Dave here.  I write to you now with the intention of informing you all of some changes The Gunship will be undergoing in the following months. So let's get right to the meat of it...
     Our longtime bass player Patrick Mellon is leaving the band to pursue a new life outside of Oklahoma. While this was a rather sudden and unexpected move on his part, Dr. Bob and I want you to know that The Gunship will continue to rock your socks off to the level we have always have, and that our resolve to do so is stronger than ever.
     Now, there is going to be a period of adjustment for the next few months... in which time we will be finding a replacement for Patrick. He may still play with us for another couple shows, or we might have some stand-ins til we find an adequate bass player, depending on his schedule... but either way I want to preemptively thank you all for the support I know you will all show us and any musicians who help us get through this rough patch.
     I know there are probably going to be a lot of questions from you about the specifics of these events, and while I would love to be more in-depth with my explanations, it is not really my place to say... suffice to say that this is a decision Patrick feels will be best for his goals in life, and we will respect that decision.
      Time is up for today's blog, but I will continue to keep you all informed of our activities and progress. See you soon. We love you all.

...but I love the band like it is! I will definitely do my best to make it to the next few shows. I regret missing out so far. Maybe we could tape a Patrick Farewell Show.


I wanna leave Oklahoma, too. Silly attachments.



...and another thing: vote no for the jail today in Cleveland County.
