	CD Baby: ABBIE GARDNER: My Craziest Dream
		Herb has a full and swinging sound on "Under A Blanket Of Blue", on which he conjures some great piano, and Abbie's voice is sweet, silky and expressive.
		I assume the pianist Herb Gardner is her father, but her starring role has nothing to do with nepotism.
		Gardner claims he’d rather put up with “gunshots and sirens” instead of “deer in the woods carrying Lyme disease.” It’s all good fun, and I expect goes over well live.

	All About Jewish Theatre - Kudos for the King of 'Clowns' Playwright Herb Gardner
		A Herb Gardner play is not sentimental; it's warm and ironically humane in the way that growing up in Brooklyn in the 1950s was.
		Gardner and I met through our mutual professional relationship with director Daniel Sullivan; "I'm Not Rappaport" and my play, "The Heidi Chronicles," both were directed by Sullivan when he was artistic director of the Seattle Repertory Theatre.
		Gardner had a writing studio on the West Side, and on Sundays he would take his boys out to brunch and then for a swim in his office building.

		Unfortunately, director Herb Gardner is a little too fond of writer Herb Gardner's script, which just keeps going and going and going -- until even two old pros such as Walter and Ossie have worn out their welcome.
		Gardner had a hit play ("A Thousand Clowns") by the time he was 27 and, perhaps even more amazing, had previously been a wildly successful cartoonist, creating "The Nebbishes," which has been called "the Simpsons of their day." His "Next week we've got to get organized" drawing is considered a classic.
		Herb Gardner has directed with such a fine touch that he makes us laugh uproariously at the very moments we ache most deeply for Nat and Carter.

	Press - Abbie Gardner
		Gardner has always had a way with a song, and her sly renditions of “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Hit The Road, Jack” are what we’ve come to expect from this outstanding singer.
		Gardner, also a member of the Appalachia-based group Red Molly, blends together multiple genres throughout the CD, and it is that mixture of styles that becomes her greatest strength.
		Abbie Gardner is an accomplished musician as well, and her trademark dobro can be found throughout the various tracks of "Honey On My Grave." However, Gardner has also surrounded herself with an array of skilled artisans that are up to the task of keeping pace with her.

		He quit school to fight the war along with all five of his brothers and they all came home alive, though only Herb received the Bronze Star from President Truman, which he received for valiant service at the Rhine Crossing when he was 19 years old.
		Herb can tell many exciting war stories with the sharpness of detail that only war can leave on a man’s memory.

	Daily Record GET OUT! Entertainment - Jazz trombonist Herb Gardner makes Groundhog Day his own (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A few years ago, traditional jazz trombonist Herb Gardner thought he'd spice up the dreary winter season a bit with a tongue-in-cheek love song about an often neglected holiday and a shadowy woodchuck.
		On Sunday, Gardner will lead an all-star traditional jazz and Dixieland band in the second annual Groundhog Day Jam, which is being held this year at The Bickford Theatre at The Morris Museum in Morris Township.
		The event is the brainchild of Gardner and Bickford Theatre jazz publicist Bruce M. Gast, who heard Gardner's "Groundhog Day" song and CD and approached the veteran trombonist and bandleader with the idea of holding a freewheeling traditional jazz concert in celebration of the holiday.

	TRIBUTE TO HERB GARDNER
		Gardner’s works were all wonderfully witty, although they dealt seriously, intelligently and movingly with issues such as conformity, ageism, anti-Semitism, crime and dysfunctional marriage.
		Herbert George Gardner was born on December 28, 1934, in a very Jewish section of Brooklyn.
		Over time, according to Gardner, “the balloons were getting larger and larger and there was hardly any drawing left.” After it became more like writing than cartooning, he dropped the extremely lucrative strip (and merchandizing bonanza) in 1960—devoting himself exclusively to play writing.
