It’s a big deal to get me out to a club to hear music, and some of that is because I’m very protective of my ears. I rely on them for work and for my joy of music. My husband is retired and is very busy playing golf most days. Things are generally pretty quiet around here.” Dos too was a marriage, in more ways than one. Itwas often like abattle, but the cool thing about that is that the battle comes across musically as something that works. I have my two Emmys in the front hallway on a little shelf. They are somewhat on display. What’s cool about the Emmys is that they have these wings, or prongs, that would make an excellent potential weapon if someone were to come in my front door that I didn’t want to have come in.”At any given moment, I have 20 songs in some state of completion and process, whether it’s just an idea for a bassline to being somewhat complete In 1994, Gardner appeared in the John Waters film Serial Mom as part of the fictitious band "Camel Lips".
