| From: Buddy Hudpeth Received March 28th, 2010 Mike and I have been friends for over 40 years..we worked together in a band called Grand central..without Mike our band never would have accomplished what we did at such a young age...even then Mike was an unselfish person who would help any young guitar players get their licks right..Mike has always been about the music and giving. I only wish you knew Mike like I do...you would be so blessed..love this guy, He is my Brother. I'd do anything for him that I could possibly do. |
| From: Chopper Kovach Received March 29th, 2010 Mike is the friend, the musician and the jokester. If you are lucky, you will have someone like Mike in your life at one time or another. You are the best, Mike. We are all here for you. |
| From: Dave the Rave Adams Received March 30th, 2010 Love "Fall From Grace" and we're gonna rock with our c***s out on the 6th! |

| From: Eddie Mole Hebert Received March 30th,2010 Hello old friend. can't wait to see you and work with you again at the benefit in June. It has been way to long. I still have many fond memories Of mixing sound for PKM and the good old days when you me and Mike Fritay were roomates on Bickett St in Raleigh. I also still remember when the motor in my car blew up and you loaned me your car for several weeks. See you soon Mole |
| From: Edwina Gardner Rains Received April 1st, 2010 My dear Michael, I am so sorry to hear about this horrible disease that has come into your life. I had no idea till Beki emailed me a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea of your successes either and your love of the guitar. I hope we can make it to the benefit. I will surely try to help you with this. I'm so sorry that it has been so long since I have seen you......can't even remember the last time. It's sad how we get so wrapped up in our own little worlds. I am saying some prayers for you and wishing you well. I love you cousin and hope to see you at the benefit. Love, Edwina |

| From: Robert Kearns Received April 7th, 2010 Hymettus Court in Raleigh, gaining invaluable experience all the while. I Hymettus Court in Raleigh, gaining invaluable experience all the while. I also had the privilege of meeting Kenny Soule and Phil Gardner there. They let me play bass on a few tracks they had, that led to more and more recording till eventually, I was a member of Gardners of Soule. Can you believe it? I was a punk kid hanging around and they let me in the band, WOW!!!! the band, WOW!!!! I could go on and on with stories about all the great times we had. There is no way I could've made a career out of playing music without Mike Gardner, plain and simple. I know this is getting long so I'll end it like I started it. I LOVE Mike Gardner! |
| From: Randy Gardner Received April 7th, 2010 Hey cuz'. In the inimitable words of Mr. Chester Burton Atkins "I'll be there, don't you know"? Reind me to tell you my Chet story and a story about a man I met at Merlefest from New Hope who knew about "The Guitar". Take care. Cousin Randy |
| From: Eddie Howard Received April 7th,2010 Wow those Grand Central/Fresh days were a lot of fun memories. Panic is still a great record today. Many hours you and I would sit and run scales/harmonics together. One of the greatest players I ever worked around! Remind me to tell you about recording Hank Garland when we get together. Love you, see you there |
| From: Jeff Shinn Received Arpril 7th,2010 I've been admiring Mike's talent since the '70s, when Flannigan's in Charlotte was like a "second home" to us. Mike was playing there frequently with his band, and I was there watching and listening, and he'd be there to support me when I was onstage...it seems like we sort of rotated being the house band there for awhile.LOL Mike was like a big brother to me as well during the times I spent in Raleigh in the late '80s. Those were some special times and I always learned from him, and we had many laughs together. Mike's generosity is well known to those of us who've had the pleasure of knowing him. Thanks for being a friend to me Mike...I love ya bro'! |
| Would you like to write on "The Wall?" It's easy, just click "Here" |
| From; Brian Wheeling Received April 11th, 2010 Though our time playing together was short lived, and I can't remember much of the music now, I clearly remember this. You were always kind and considerate, reasonable and thoughtful of those around you. But, I can't recall one single instance of you ever being angry. I'm sure these qualities will serve you well as you deal with this thoughtless intrusion in your life. Keep doing what you do best. Love and godspeed. |
| From: PeeWee Watson Received April 13th, 2010 Let me tell you about Michael Gardner. I was playing in Charlotte with a really good R&B/Funk band when a couple of us decided to go to another club down the street on a break. A great band was playing. Good bass player, drummer, keys, vocals. But what (or who) captured my attention was this really handsome, AWESOME guitar player with the brilliant smile.Then they did a song called "This Morning". Knew we would, and should play together someday. It came to pass with my other "Brother from another Mother" and I thank my lucky stars. I love him to death. You should too. |
| From: Key Wendell Received April 14th, 2010 My old friend Jim Sheppard told me about your benefit....I'll be there. Even though I work in the Medical Field, we detach ourself from the patient....until the patient is an old friend, then it hits home...."it don't take much, to keep me happy"...Good friends, good times....look forward to seeing you again ! Key Goldsboro, NC |
| From: Bad Ass Chad Hough Received April 15th, 2010 Honored to be a part of this wonderful evening! Mike, you have been and continue to be an inspiration to me in so many ways! See you soon my friend...we gonna rock the s#$% out of that place! |
| From: Jimmy Mahoney Received April 21st, 2010 Thanks for the friendship, love, mentoring, and brilliance. Only you could bring four local musicians together from three separate bands and, in one day, have a song like Fall From Grace enter the world. Truly magical bro. Can't wait to grace the stage with you again...we're gonna put the throttle down on the 6th! |
| From: Tom Pasour Received April 21st,2010 It was in th mid-70's and my band buddies & I from Dallas, NC heard about this really great local area band "Fresh" and later Gastonia. We went to check them out and were stunned, excited and inspired by how great these bands were and we were particularly impressed by Mike Gardner's guitar ability, style, sound and stage presence. He was a "Star"! We all became regular fans, I started taping the shows, and we even started playing some of the cool songs they played by Return To Forever and others. At the meet and greets after the shows I It was in th mid-70's and my band buddies & I from Dallas, NC would say when parting and I appreciated his helpful guitarist advice like how I could plug in a master volume control module advice like how I could plug in a master volume control module into the back of my ampeg V-4 amp to get natural preamp into the back of my ampeg V-4 amp to get natural preamp distortion without having it extremely loud or having to use a fuzztone. Following that tip greatly improved my guitar so! und. Mike, I've been out of your loop since those days but thanks to a friend's email I'm back in and I'm with you in faith and supportive spirit. My left hand's been trembling now for awhile so once again I'm inspired by you to go and get it checked out. You've blessed us so much Mike so..."thank you, God bless, and take care." |
| From: Rebecca Gardner Received April 21st, 2010 Love You, Brother. You've always been one of my Angels. Thank You for being my 'near twin.' XOXOXOXOX |

| From: Van Alston Received April 22nd,2010 I ran into PeeWee the other day and he told me about the Parkinson's. Tough break, my friend. I'm back from Honduras and living in Raleigh again, so give me a call if you want to hang out sometime. |
| From: Candy Thomas Received April 24th,2010 Dear sweet Mike, My prayers are with you during these difficult days. You are without a doubt one of the nicest people that have come through my life. May you and your family find peace and comfort knowing that many others deeply care about you. Planning to be at your benefit and would love to say 'hello' and give you a hug. . . I know that it will be a big day for you, though, so just know that I'll be there enjoying it so much, just like the old Fresh days! May God send a miracle blessing your way. Love, Candy |

| From: Jill Gardner Received April 24th, 2010 Michael, You are the man that I have waited for all of my life. Your kind, generous, understanding, and the most loving and caring man I have ever met. I remember when we first met and you would say; " I'm the luckiest man you'll ever meet. I'm going, Come go with me." So I did. A decision I have never regretted. We will get through this. In time a cure will come and I will do what ever it takes to make sure you're first in line. I’m so in love with you honey. We will overcome. Your loving wife always..Jill |
| From: John West Received April 24th,2010 Mike, It's been quite a few yrs. now since I've seen you and been in the area. I heard just within the last week of your misfortune, my friend. I was so happy to hear that you're still playing on, Mike even through it all. unfortunately, I won't be able to make it down from Philly for the benefit, but I wanted you to know, I'll be keeping an eye out and an ear open for news and now that I'm in touch with my "southern connection" I'll be able to. You have my prayers, Mike, from a brother musician to another. Happiness to Jill and the family Sincerely, John W |
| From: Vincent Barnes Received April 24th,2010 I have always been a big fan of Mike and PKM and they were always kind to me, but I have never been prouder to know Mike as now. He is quiet a man. I hope my plans to help are successful and that I too can be at the benefit. Thanks Mike for your words of inspiration. |
| Rebecca Grissom Surrett Received April 24th, 2010 Great to see you Mike! We'll be seeing you real soon. Take care! Becky and Stepanie |

| From: Maurice Mangum Received April 25th,2010 Video Response Hey Mike. I'm not sure if you remember me or not. It's been a pretty long time since I lived in Raleigh. But I grew up there playing in bands that played with you guys for years. Paris Red, Autumn, etc, with Dave Rose, Needham Park, Wynn Britt, Bobby Stansburry, Donnie Sasser, and the list goes on man. You ARE certainly a staple in my songwriting pad brother. and we'd all head for the reherasal room, W I D E OPEN! Haha... it was the best feeling crankin' up, " Don't Take Much", then waiting for the perect moment when "Elanor Rigby" would come on and just freak us out. Your version of that song is BY FAR the best i've heard to date. Slowing it down was a SICK idea. Excellent man. I just learned of your condition about 10 minutes ago from Chris Jones' FB post on your video. My thoughts & prayers are with you brother. ... See More Just know man that you were etched permanently into MANY, MANY minds, including mine, a long time ago as a rock guitar hero. I think that we all set out to see that come to fruition one day...you are there my man. I just found where I can get PKM ringtones, so i'm gonna slam your version of Elanor Rigby on my cell now. I'm in Tallahassee, Florida now, but i'd love to be included on any future concerts/events that you're a part of in the future. I'll travel anywhere to be a part of it. God bless you & your family man and I hope this little trip down memory lane gives you inspiration and so much hope that ya can't stop smiling today! : ) Maurice |
| Maurice Mangum |
| From: Dave Britt Received April 25, 2010 Although the time I spent playing with Michael was less than a year, in that time I grew to know a generous and kind person who created a spirit of calm in a sometimes contentious (and creative) atmosphere. It was a pleasure being in his company. to be an inspiration to those around him. |
| From: Amy Newton Received April 30th, 2010 that are coming as well. Look forward to seeing you!!! that are coming as well. Look forward to seeing you!!! Please let us know if you need anything beforehand! Love and God bless!!!and God bless!!! |
| From: Joe Yanulevich Received April 30th, 2010 What can I possibly say about Mike Gardner and a 3 piece band called PKM except they sounded live like they had several more insturments playing due in part to Mikes guitar sounds.Mike you are truely one of the most soulful players there ever was my brother. Have you ever thought about a solo cd called it's only Mike? Mike helped me out remixing a master tape of a band I was managing out of Nashville and the result got the band alot of airplay in europe.My thoughts and prayers are with you everyday |
| From: Todd Washburn Received April 30th,2010 I worked with musicians since the 70s who played in bands with Mike (FRESH, WIDE OPEN, HIGH & MIGHTY). Always heard good things about you Mike, still do. I remember hanging out at gigs years ago...super guy with loads of talent. With your strength and energy, you'll kick this. |
| From: JD Moseley Received April 30th,2010 Mike - here's to sending positive mojo in your direction. PKM and the Switch are still some kick ass memories from back in the day. We had a blast closing down the bar and heading to the after parties on Rush and finally your digs off of Wade. Good times opening for ya'll at Roadies!(at least what I can remember) What a small world where 20+ years later and your connection to Runaway Cab and Chad would have our paths crossing once again. Can't wait to see the gang and rock out! You are truly one of the nicest peep's I've come across. See ya' in June.(maybe before since Chad will be in Wilmington soon) |
| From: Al Forbes Received May 4th,2010 Hey Mike: It's been a long time, and I've thought about you often. I remember you most from the early PKM days as having the best guitar tone I had ever heard. You were playing through some little tweed amp, I believe it was someone's modification of a tweed Fender from the 50's. A lot of guitarists spend a lifetime looking for that sound, and you had it way back then. I will be unable to attend the benefit due to my work schedule (I still do the Charlotte Symphony Pops), but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. And thanks for including that picture of Rooster on the site. That brought a tear to my eyes. Buddy Bost says hello, too! Much love and peace! Al |
| From: Vince Barnes Received May 5th, 2010 Having known Mike for many years, I have known him not only as a highly energetic, powerful musician and songwriter, but also as one of the finest human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His writing skills are well documented as is his overall performance attributes. But for those of you who have not had the pleasure of just talking to him, I can stand in testiment that he is unpretentious and well grounded. He loves his fans and they in turn love him back. I'm sure this benefit concert will be a resounding success, Why? Because good people take care of good people when they are in need. Knowing how truly good Mike is leaves little doubt in my mind that the outpouring of support will will only be surpassed by Mike's gratitude and humility. If you have the opportunity to speak with Mike at the gig, take advantage of the opportunity to enter into a conversation with one of the truly "good guys" in a business sometimes populated with less than sav! ory characters. You will never forget it, and come to learn what a special person he is. His wife Jill is also a very fine person as well, so say hi to her too. I am hoping against hope I can attend the benefit, but being a disabled single parent, I have to watch my money carefully. So I may only be there in spirit, but my heart will be there. PLEASE DONATE TO THIS WONDERFUL CAUSE. Your heart will reward you. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Vince AKA Vince.a.roony.From.Boony |
| From: Duke Simmons Received May 5th, 2010 I've known Mike for fourty years, manthey go by fast.I played with him in Fresh & Wide Open. We spend many great years together. He was the first person besides my dad to teach me that there is not only a physical life but a spiritual one, and he has always shown his great spirt and huge amount of giving to everyone he comes in contact with. You are always met with that Mike Gardner smile. It's classic. Mike I know You'll Beat this. See you at the benefit. Love you man, Duke |
| From: Ken Patterson Received May 5th, 2010 Mike is one of those special guitarist that could make rare music, especially with Pewee and Kenny. I wish you well Mike and I have great memories of you from my days in Charlotte in the 70's and early 80's. Take care and have faith. |
| From: Judy Gardner Goodman May, 12th,2010 I hope to be at the concert! Hope to see you there and speak to you!! Daddy would be so proud to see all the accomplishments you have achieved in the music field! You know he loved all his nephews and nieces and greatly enjoyed playing music with them!! Take good care and I hope to give you a hug on June 6! Love ya, Judy |
| From: Patsy Gardner May, 12th, 2010 Hey Mike, I am looking forward to seeing you at the benefit and getting a long, overdue hug. Cousin Patsy |
| From: Pam Partin May, 12th, 2010 Hello Cuz- Long time- but hope to see you on the 6th. Willie, and Derek are psyched about the benefit, so we hope to come. You hang in there and we will pray for the best of outcomes. Luv ya, Pam Carraway Partin |
| From: Scottie Thomas May 16th, 2010 We played in 3 different bands together; Fresh, Wide Open, and High and Mighty. He is my brother in music and in spirit. Even though we haven't talked much over the past years, I think of you often. If you are luckly enough in life you may meet one or two people that influence the rest of your life. To me Mike is one of those people. Mike and I talked not long ago about his disease and if you know Mike at all, you know how he handles it. To give you an example, during our conversation, Mike mentioned he was working on a new vibrato on his guitar. Knowing how much I liked his old vibrato I had to ask why. He replied "No, you don't understand. This one's unintentional." That's the don't understand. This one's unintentional." That's the kind of attitude, humor,and 'looking the disease square in the face' that he has. Mike is and will always be a great friend! Just to let y! You know, I will support you in any way that I can. If you need anything, let me know. I'll try to make the benefit, but I can't promise. But if not I will at least buy a ticket. I know you'll beat this thing. Best of luck! I'm praying for you! Scottie |
| From: Kyle Garris May 17th, 2010 Mikey G… where do I start? I am so fortunate in that I get to make music with Mike Gardner every week. He’ll make you a better player… but more importantly, he’ll make you a better person. Inside and out, Mike Gardner is truly a great man. I am looking forward to the June 6 show… Take care. |
| Mark Dickens May 17th, 2010 all ways kind and never has met a stranger. Everyone needs a friend like Mike in there life. Everyone needs a friend like Mike in there life. Thank you Mike for being our friend. Mark and JulieThank you Mike for being our friend. Mark and Julie |

| From: Mike Pitts May 22nd, 2010 There really aren't words in any language that can express the thanks and esteem I have for such a sorry sack!!! Mike was the first "Raleigh Rock God" that took a shine to a geeky kid from the mountains. Whether we were discussing the never ending chase for the guitar "tone with the taste for food" or the ultimate axe (which gets closer & further away at the same time), Mike has that amazing sense and enthusiasm that can only be described as pure. That may be the perfect word for Mike. Pure. Peace be with you, my brother. See you on the 6th. |
| From: Gil-Ann Wilder May 26th, 2010 and I am so sorry about what you are going through right now. I am sure all is going to work out great no matter what so keep your FAITH!!! You have so many fans (one being me) and folks that love you!!!!!! Look forward to your benefit concert. The PKM, Nantucket, Sidewinder Days at "The Switch" bring back some of the best mems. of my life. God bless and see y'all soon. You and your family are in my PRAYERS! |

| From: David Wuester May 27th, 2010 Mike, In '81 I was 21 & used to go see PKM every chance I got & the only place I'd get was right at the lip of the stage (best blast zone area)! Although we never did get to meet I was such a regular that you would recognize me when I'd First & foremost Phillipians 4:13! Second, thank show up & nod your head in approval. I still have all of the picks that I accumulated from you & Pee Wee. Back then I was just starting to play guitar & really enjoyed watching people jam with the intensity levels that ya'll emitted. Playing guitar is a wonderful part of my life that is a never ending teacher. From learning 1-4-5 blues in the beginning to Zeppelin's "Rain Song" in a D-G-C-G-C-D tuning, I want to again thank you for being one of those inspirations in my life to learn more about our beloved instrument. God Bless you & Jill & you are in my prayers for a cure. Your brother in fretville , David. |
| From; Will Partin May 27th, 2010 attending my wifes family reunion and look over and there is Mike. Never put connection together until that day. Introduced my two boys to PKM CD & yes I still have two tapes that still work. Can not wait for my sons to see them perform live June 6th. Raleigh will be a "Hot Town Tonight."Raleigh will be a "Hot Town Tonight." |
| From: Mark Grossmann May 28th, 2010 Hey,Mike! Looking forward to working with you Sunday. It's gonna be a major blast from the past. Our thoughts and prayers are with you,always. |
| From: "Joker" John Wetmore May 29th,2010 Hey Mike you got that Dollar you owe me?LOL just "joking"see ya tomorrow bro.I'm gonna put the Lights on ya.Nothing like June 6th is going to be.I'm really going to put the lights on ya in Raleigh!Thanks for all the music over the years,the memories,and all the new ones yet to be made!Your the best Man! |
| From: Angie Smathers May 29th,2010 I haven't know Mike very long but he is just one of those people that when you meet them they make an impression on you that lasts forever. He has an amazing attitude and such a great outlook on life and his positivity is absolutely catchy! I feel very blessed to know him and his lovely wife Jill. It is wonderful to see a person who views life with Parkinson's and doesn't allow this disease to define who he is. There will be a cure and we can all work together to help pave the way. And in the meantime - keep making great music. It's medicine for the soul and helps make everything seem brighter. |
| From: Angela Roth May, 30th, 2010 family. i can personally relate because my father had parkinson's for over 20 yrs & has now passed. the disease itself does not kill you but what people do not realize is that is effects the muscles & just think of what all muscles we my prayers & thoughts go out for you & your have: our throats for eating, talking & swallowing, our ability to walk & use our arms, the bladder is muscle controlled & the ability to have bowel movements. sorry to be so graphic but your story saddens me due to my father, but secondly because my boyfriend is a guitar player & i cannot imagine his world being affected by this disease. Good luck & i will check on the news & hopefully the drs & meds can keep this somewhat controllable. god bless |
| From: Vince Barnes May 31st, 2010 I have always loved your strong my friend as I know you will. If there is anything I can do, all you have to do is ask. I will be praying for you and your family. Keep Rockin! |
